Independent Artist | Paper Artist | Designer
Aysun Şahin Besci is an independent artist and designer from Türkiye whose practice focuses on paper, origami and book arts. She first encountered origami nearly two decades ago and has since explored paper as a medium for form, transformation, storytelling and creative thinking.
With a background in Industrial Product Design and Brand Communication, her multidisciplinary practice brings together origami, paper sculpture, tessellation, modular structures, handmade books and mixed media.
Her first solo exhibition in France, MA: The Space Between Folds, explores the Japanese concept of Ma—the meaningful interval between space and time, presence and absence, movement and stillness. Through paper, folds, light and shadow, Besci investigates the relationships between form and emptiness, the visible and the unseen, inviting viewers to experience the spaces between folds as an integral part of the artwork.
She is also the author of two children’s storybooks that integrate origami into storytelling, combining narrative, paper folding and creative exploration.
Besci is the founder of Noipaper Art & Craft, established in 2009, where she continues to develop artistic projects, workshops and creative learning experiences for children and adults.
