Can Yağız was born in Istanbul, Turkey and received a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art (2018). The artist’s practice incorporates discarded materials, such as crumpled paper, used wrappers, and receipts. The degradation of these elements are integral to the narratives constructed within Yağız’s pieces, which contemplate themes of belonging, selfhood, and decay.
