Artist Statement
I work with various mediums, but specially consantrating on installation, photograpy, performance and art books. In art most important things for me are being interactive, working on multi cultural diciplines. I believe in art visuality and conceptualty equally important. I feel much closer to things that are simple in technical terms yet deep and rich in terms of content and meaning. I specially work on poetry, language and art relationships, gender- feminism, immigration issues, achitectural elements and political subjects.
Subjects of my photography work are also usually gender and woman’s issues from a feminist point of view, absurd situations, visuals having political references, architectural elements, furniture,nature,abstract nature, details, etc. I work on photography sometimes with a setup, sometimes on the move. And sometimes I prefer sharing my works with people more directly, on the streets, squares and walls, instead of the halls of galleries. As I view the arts as a whole, my primary objective is to use different disciplines together.
