Curator's Note

Chala Toprak’s 'Iris N.9' is an intricate, organic sculpture hand-formed from iron-rich stoneware to echo the layered beauty of petals in motion. This limited-edition piece channels the delicate strength of the natural world, offering a quiet homage to life's cycles of transformation. With its raw texture this vessel would serve as a profound, grounding focal point atop a minimalist credenza or nestled within a curated bookshelf.

About the Artist

Starting out as a fashion designer in her hometown of Istanbul, Chala Toprak swapped out one metropolis for another and found a home in Brooklyn in 2019, where she first started working with clay. Toprak soon found solace at the pottery wheel, and what began as a hobby quickly developed into a full-time pursuit.
