Born in Istanbul in 1987, Azeri grew up in a household that blended influences from the Caucasus, Eastern Anatolia, and Istanbul. She holds degrees in Archaeology and Prehistoric Archaeology from Istanbul University and worked for nearly a decade as a scientific researcher across various projects and institutions. In 2023, she left academia to focus on ceramics, completing an intensive program at Corrie Bain International Ceramics School in Barcelona. Informed by her background in archaeology, her work engages with the intersections of material culture, craft, and artistic expression.
She is currently based in Berlin, where she continues her ceramic practice.
