I was born and raised in Germany by Turkish immigrant parents and am currently based in Barcelona. I am a multidisciplinary artist with a main focus on analogue photography and writing. Lately, I have started taking an interest in textile art and mixed media techniques to expand my ways of expression.
My photography is mainly focused on street photography and portraits. With the former, I try to find meaning in the mundane things of everyday life, especially focusing on geometric composition and the play between shadow and light. My portraits, on the other hand, are deeply personal, the subjects in the pictures usually being people close to me. In both cases, I make it a point to only shoot on film, which can be a challenge, especially when shooting outside, but I think this has helped me grow in my practice over the years.
My writing – mostly in the form of prose – is about the exploration of my inner thoughts and feelings, reflecting my struggles with love, identity, and the experience of marginalisation.
