Collection: Art Doll Couture

Koray Lynx (Yusuf Incetas) has been handcrafting art cloth dolls since 2014.  He started working on a doll to take his mind off some issues that were going on in his life. When he started, he did not enjoy it as much – there were a lot of successes and mishaps.  However, it was an effective distraction for a while.  He took a hiatus for a few years, then began to work again.  When he creates a doll, he decides on a theme, but doesn’t know how it will turn out until it is finished.  His latest work centers on issues and represents a message with each doll. Recently he finished a doll about breast awareness, and another on the problems of Muslim women. His most recent doll incorporated the Turkish eye and addressed the concept of superstition.
