Sanem Odabaşı (b. 1989, Eskişehir, Turkey) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores themes of time, nature, and memory. Through textile surfaces, repair techniques, natural dyes, and
a poetic visual language, she traces the enduring imprints of life. Drawn to the quiet, the minimal, and the resonant, she works with overlooked objects, traces, and textures, reinterpreting them
through a contemporary aesthetic lens.

As a researcher, her work engages with sustainable fashion, collective memory, and archival approaches. Her books Fashion, Upcycling, and Memory and Sürdürülebilir Moda Tasarımı:
Kavramlar ve Uygulamalar contribute to critical discourse in these fields. She is also the co-founder and co-author of the open-source glossary Sürdürülebilir Moda Lisanı – The Language of Sustainable Fashion, which aims to build a pluralistic vocabulary for sustainability.

Her work has been exhibited at Bellewether (New York), Ferda Art Platform, BASE İstanbul, and Gala Gallery. Her first solo exhibition, Traveler’s Dower (2017), centered on the concepts of trace and carrying; her second, Things (2022), explored layered narratives around object, body, and time. In 2024, she presented Between Two Gardens, a collaborative duo exhibition with Swedish artist Andreas Ribbung at Eldem Sanat Alanı | FIRIN, offering a poetic reflection on the complex relationships between humans and nature.

Her most recent solo exhibition, Silent Gardens, was presented at Candyland, Stockholm, in 2025, with the support of SAHA and NKF. Odabaşı is a faculty member at Eskişehir Technical University, where she continues to explore a pluralistic language of production at the intersection of art and academia.
