Here is the English translation of the provided text:

"Transformation stories of trees toppled and dragged into the sea by the force of storms, defying the years...

Working with wood eroded by the sea...

Worn-out wood is transformed into new forms, making them unique. My admiration is for these miraculous forms created by nature...

Branches and roots are what impress me the most...

While one reaches towards the sky, the other delves into the depths of the earth, reflecting the power it takes from the soil as unique branches in the sky. The story of these designs comes from ancient trees. When the branches of these trees, rolled from forests to shores by storms and floods, worn by waves, touch your skin, you will feel all of this."

MINE TOPBAŞ

Born in Adana in 1967. After graduating from high school, she received 5 years of painting education along with various artistic courses. She has enjoyed changing the shape of objects and creating functional designs since a very young age. She worked as a store manager for various fashion brands. In 2016, on the shores of the Black Sea, she encountered wood that almost gave 'personality'. She wanted to make the wood functional to tell each of their separate stories. Using different materials, she started making contemporary jewelry with a focus on naturalness in 'advanced transformation.' In 2019, she took technical courses such as metal clay, wax modeling, welding, and enameling, applying them to her designs. In 2021, she continues her designs in Bodrum Boğaziçi Village, where she moved to.
