If you still haven\u2019t fallen in love with the magical world of embroidery, Rana Balca will help you change your ways in the blink of an eye. She\u2019s exploring the magnetic power that hides behind our eyes through her embroidery hoops, which perfectly capture the magic of the human gaze.\n\n\n\n
Balca is an embroidery artist from Istanbul, Turkey, with a background in fashion design. She graduated from the Department of Fashion and Textile Design at Yeditepe University in 2016 and decided to turn her attention to a craft that\u2019s often been dismissed as old-fashioned by many of her peers – the magical world of embroidery.\n\n\n\n
Like most embroidery artists, Balca kicked things off by stitching together pretty flowers, but a different subject eventually caught her eye. She kicked off a new era of her journey as an embroidery artist when she decided to focus on stitching together human eyes, using her skills with needle and thread to capture the magnetic power of our gaze.\n\n\n\n
