At the end of his residency Seçkin held an exhibition in St. Anthony’s Courtyard entitled ‘GlobaliFashion: Estonia’, which combined elements of traditional Estonian costumes with mass produced materials to present ideas about the effect globalization is having on traditional culture.
Seçkin has exhibited his work in Turkey, Czech Republic, Iraq and the Netherlands, and has previously been artist in residence in Wortwedding, Berlin. He went on to residencies in Turkey and Iraq, and made plans to return to Tartu in August 2012.
