Artist Statement
My parents were Turkish guest workers in Germany, and I grew up immersed in a perpetual tension of opposites—tradition versus modernity, foreignness versus familiarity, convention versus rebellion.
In my work, I am drawn to those boundary lines where different elements meet, attract, repel, yet somehow grow together. I am captivated by the beauty within chaos, by these intricate questions, constantly torn between them, wrestling with an elusive identity. I seek no reconciliation. I resolve nothing; I exist within it. I find exhilaration in unrest, life within conflict. For it is precisely there, on the threshold where everything both attracts and repels, that something true emerges. And despite all unresolved tensions, it is at its most raw at the beginning and most liberating afterward.
