to live,
to enjoy,
to understand,
to communicate,
to explain,
to be.

I work from Istanbul — a city that has never allowed anyone the comfort of a single identity. My practice moves between painting, installation, photography, and digital work, not because I seek variety, but because each question demands its own form. The recurring concerns are few: how we are seen, how we see ourselves, who gets to name what, and what survives the naming.
I do not make art to break hearts. I make it to restore what the stories of our supposed commonalities have damaged — the irreducible singularity of each person.
