Merve Dündar is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice focuses on how language, social norms, and sensory experiences shape emotional perception and construct our sense of self and reality. Her work questions how reality is structured through invisible codes and inherited systems. Drawing from personal reflections, she seeks to evoke shared feelings and open spaces for reflecting on what we think we know.

She works across drawing, sculpture, installation, text-based media, and participatory projects that invite audience contribution.  Working with humble and fragile materials — including used paper, stitching, and chalk dust — she often returns to paper in its many forms as a central medium. In her ongoing engagement with language, she treats words as both material and subject. Repetition, rhythm, layering, and acts of deconstruction and reconstruction are recurring formal strategies in her work.
