“My work emerges from the spaces in between: between belonging and estrangement, memory and forgetting, presence and absence. As an immigrant, an expat, or perhaps more accurately, an exile, I navigate cultural thresholds that resist closure. This drifting positionality guides my practice, compelling me to explore transience as the locus of being itself.


I often find myself drawn to nomadic and transhumance aesthesis, and Eastern philosophies rooted in impermanence. My visual language merges the abstract geometries of Turkic kilims with the fluid ornamentation of Khatt calligraphy. Like these expressive traditions, I use repetition, motif, and ornamentation to construct a visual vocabulary that imagines continuity through rupture and change.

The act of restarting, or renewal, is vital to my work. This is why I vary my materials and methods, both conceptually and technically, to cultivate new ways of seeing. This approach leads me into unfamiliar territories of practice, where I explore freely through the lens of displacement.

My work unfolds across multiple realities—real, virtual, and augmented—where material and immaterial layers intersect. Within these spaces, I create paintings and sculptural objects that reflect on impermanence, dislocation, and the hybrid, unstable ground of diasporic life, where each transition becomes a continuation of one space of being rippling into another. ”
