Educated as an interior architect, Işıl Özçam pursues an interdisciplinary practice that bridges jewellery and spatial thinking. Active as both an academic and a jewellery designer, her work is shaped by a deep sensitivity to scale, structure, and the dialogue between forms and materials.
The rhythms of growth, repetition, and variation found in organic systems stands at the core of her creative inquiry. Particularly underwater ecosystems inform her design language. Through long-term engagement with scuba diving and photography, she observes how forms evolve, disperse, and reassemble, inspiring jewellery that resists static definition and instead suggests motion, transformation, and continuity.
Işıl approaches jewellery as a micro-architecture for the body. Material experimentation plays a central role in her practice, where traditional techniques coexist with digital modelling, generative processes, and emerging fabrication technologies. This hybrid methodology allows her to translate spatial concepts into intimate, wearable forms.
