'Necla'
- Printmaking
- 120 cm x 110 cm x 110 cm
Safiye Otman
İstanbul
Necla is not just a name;
she is the embodiment of imposed roles, repressed desires and silent resistance.
Society told her what to be—it taught her not to be a woman, but to be “like a woman.”
Necla, on the other hand, rejected the molds she did not choose, and drew her own image.
She spoke with the voice of humanity, not gender.
This painting is not Necla’s story, but the story of thousands of people who do not look like her, whose names are not even mentioned.
She reminds us that gender is not a limit, but a feature.
And with every brushstroke, she says:
Gender is not a destiny, but a decipherable fiction.

About the Artist
For me, art is not merely expression; it is a form of liberation, resistance, and making the invisible visible. Each layer
echoes the voices of women silenced throughout history.
My understanding of art is to fly and never land on earth. Because freedom lies beyond borders, in that boundless
space freed from gravity.
I depict the multilayered state of being a woman: a veil covering a wound, a hidden cry, or light overflowing
from memory… Each of my works transcends an individual narrative and rewrites the collective female memory.
Art cannot be liberated without women being liberated. My practice is based on giving voice to the silent, eyes
to the invisible, and a voice to the silenced. Because both art and life multiply with women. And I speak from
within that multiplication.
