EXPO ‘Özay Emert : Jewellery Artist of the Month’ – Gallery NORSU, Helsinki (Finland) 1-30 Avr. 2010

Özay Emert is a very talented jewelry artist from Turkey. In 2008 she got her MFA degree at HDK (School of Design and Crafts) in Gothenburg. In this project, she has drawn inspiration from her Turkish cultural heritage. The collection of jewelery called Either seem as you are or be as you seem is inspired by objects used by Sufi Dervish for head resting during their pray, in 13 century.
«  I think our preoccupation with material rather than spiritual things has CAUSED us to overlook the beauty of religion. « (Özay Emert)
