Sağdıç was born in 1982 in Mersin, Turkey. Since the early years of her art, she has become professional at various techniques such as sculpture, printing and engraving, and mostly oil paintings, and also she has produced works in the video and new media fields. For many years, she has developed researches and projects, which problematize the place of women in society. She has received a Master’s Degree in Art by means of her projects and article works with respect to such matter. She launched her project, which she has called as “Ready-ReMade”, in the period, during which the conceptual and classical discussion of current art hit the top. She has brought together the classical techniques and elements of the art with the current art forms by means of her project; accordingly, she has intended to bring the issue of “concept” in art up for discussion. She has presented the “Ready-Made” objects, which are mostly addressed by the current art, together with the classical painting and techniques, differently from the placements, which we have become accustomed to seeing frequently today. Sağdıç tries to create new intellectual areas to have the new meanings of such objects re-questioned, by bringing together some objects, which have become waste due to the fact that they have lost their function.
