Ilayda Çelik

Born in Chicago, IL, 2000

BFA Pratt Institute of Fine Arts, NYC, NY, 2023 Lives and Works in Brooklyn, NY

(b. 2000) Çelik explores femininity and domesticity through a lens bridged by the dichotomy of Western and Muslim culture. Using primarily found objects, ethically acquired animal products, and industrial building materials, Celik’s work organizes a language formed by the architectures of neglect— a product of a childhood split between America and Turkey.
