Upcycling art in Turkey
Overview
Aydın Acar, a health officer in Samsun, Turkey, has spent 15 years utilizing scrap metal and wood to create various works of art. Working from a home workshop in the İlkadım district, Acar uses materials from scrap yards and discarded pallets to produce items such as children’s toys, stools, accessories, and garden decorations.
While his previous work focused more heavily on woodworking, he has recently transitioned toward metalwork. Acar describes his practice as a hobby intended for personal enjoyment and waste reduction rather than commercial profit.
