Asli Narin is a visual artist working across photography, video, and installation. Her work explores cosmic awareness, interconnectedness, and the spiritual dimensions of nature. Using image-making as a meditative and intuitive process, she engages techniques such as cyanotype and moving images to examine how the self relates to the larger rhythms of the natural and spiritual world.
Narin’s recent body of work includes Syzygy, a public mural translating celestial harmony into visual abstraction. Inspired by planetary alignments and spiritual balance, Syzygy reflects on the invisible threads connecting the universe and personal experience. Another major work, Hand in Hand, explores the themes of migration, memory, and family lineage, merging archival photographs with storytelling to honor generational resilience.
Born in Istanbul and currently based in the U.S., Narin brings a diasporic and feminine perspective to her practice. Her art often emerges from a space of quiet reflection, offering poetic gestures toward healing, belonging, and transformation.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and supported by residencies and cultural institutions. Narin holds an MA in Photography from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a BA in Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design from Sabanci University. Narin also teaches photography and visual communication design, encouraging students to explore visual language as a means of spiritual and personal exploration.
