Sevinç Orman was born in 2005 in Kadıköy, Istanbul. After losing her father at the age of four, she continued her education at Darüşşafaka Educational Institutions, where she developed an early engagement with literature, cinema, photography, and drawing. She is currently pursuing a degree in Media and Visual Arts at Koç University, working across photography, drawing, and text-based practices.

​

Orman’s practice examines the female body as a site where discipline, desire, and cultural control intersect. Rather than representing the body, she focuses on the processes through which it is shaped, restricted, and aestheticized. Her work explores how control operates not only externally but as an internalized structure, regulating gestures, visibility, and presence.

​

Drawing from her background - born to an Iranian mother and an Armenian father, and raised with Kurdish heritage - Orman approaches the body as a culturally constructed and continuously negotiated form. Materials such as lace and forms such as bonsai function as visual systems within her work, reflecting how living bodies are trained, contained, and rendered legible. Through repetition, concealment, and formal restraint, her practice makes visible the tension between desire and discipline, intimacy and control.
