It was a few months after I started to develop more of my aesthetic with pinched forms in my making process that I discovered who Didem Mert was. I was just scrolling through my feed on instagram and “instantly” her work caugh my eye. When I saw her cup, I thought, “Hm, this looks like something I imagine myself to create, well at least something similar, but yet so different”… I have started to follow her on social media, and she is definitely super inspiring to me. Not only is she a great, motivated maker, but I find her forms and her attitude to be ambitious, as she is a second year grad at Edinboro University. I can relate a lot with her style and forms she creates. Her aesthetic is just beautiful, and her passion shows through her work and development.
