This Artist Uses Immigration Paperwork as Her Canvas

Istanbul-born artist Merve Iseri, who now resides in London, uses immigration papers as her canvas. Her medium is oil and that is very clear by the oil stained outlines around the streaks of paint.

Iseri's artwork is relevant to the refugee crisis the Middle East and Europe are experiencing currently.
