The artist’s work inhabits autobiographical imagery intertwined with dreamscapes and chimeric figures, layering meaning and narrative both within and beyond the frame. Drawing from their Chinese-Turkish heritage, they explore hybridity and in-betweenness, projecting an inner world onto objects and animals. Through painting, the artist delves into realms beyond trauma, perceiving darkness as a zero point in a vast coordinate system. They navigate the tension between immersion in and departure from that darkness to uncover the lexicon of their consciousness. Using whimsical and morbid narratives, they create stories rooted in reality that evolve into various planes of existence.
