M. Kara (formerly Müberra Karamanoğlu, also spelled Muberra Karamanoglu) is a Turkish-born artist working between New York and Ankara.Her work centers on layered portraiture, where the figure is treated as a surface—cut, veiled, and transformed through material.

Using burlap, rope, thread, tulle, and fabric collage, Kara builds compositions that shift and interrupt the image. Rooted in personal memory and textile traditions of the Black Sea region, these materials carry both physical and emotional weight.

Through layering, cutting, and stitching, the figure emerges through tension rather than control. Her works exist between visibility and concealment, where identity remains unresolved and in constant flux.
