♻️ Trashformers is a series of large-scale robotic sculptures by SEVINCY, created entirely from recycled plastic waste. These light-activated beings confront environmental collapse, artificial intelligence, and post-human aesthetics.
⚓ The series began in 2022 with The Hawser Guy, built at Haydarpaşa Train Station, Istanbul and later exhibited at a megayacht marina in Göcek, Turkey.🏀 It continued with Sarilachi, now permanently housed at the Fenerbahçe Basketball Museum, and evolved into 🙈🙉🙊 Three Wise Monkeys, selected for ArtPrize 2025.
🧠 Each Trashformer is a futuristic vessel forged from garbage — designed to challenge denial and rewire how we perceive waste.
who am I?
I work with the most tangled, most dazzling, and most toxic material of our time: plastic. But not only with my hands—also with my mind. I began with the material waste of the Earth: giant cakes, pastries, macarons, chocolates…
Today, through the tools of contemporary art, I make visible the crises that plastic waste represents.
Through robots, animals, objects, and conceptual sculptures created from recycled and upcycled materials,
I explore themes of plastic pollution, data waste, and ecological injustice.
Along the way, I looked up at the sky – and found waste there too: information.
Unread content, forgotten data, fake news…
Now, I recycle both – matter and data.
This is the Trashformative Age. Step in.
