dc.description.abstract	Throughout history, nature has been a primary source of inspiration for artists. The relationship between nature and art, shaped by the effort to understand life and the environment, has increasingly evolved into practices that raise ecological awareness. In works directly connected to nature, the diversity of artistic expression, enriched by technological advances, stands out. Today, artists approach nature not only as an aesthetic reference but also as a field of ecological responsibility. Environmental problems and global ecological crises have become important themes in contemporary art and have also found a place in ceramic art. Many artists reflect sustainability not only in material selection but also in production processes and conceptual frameworks. Within the scope of this study, artist readings are conducted on Jason deCaires Taylor and Doug Aitken, focusing on ceramic works that contain environmental messages in the context of art’s power to create awareness in individuals. Their practices illustrate the power of art to foster awareness at the individual level and highlight the social potential of ceramics in engaging with ecological issues. The study also reconsiders the concepts of art, artist, and responsibility through works contributing to sustainability and suggests new approaches for future projects.
