I am an emerging visual artist from Istanbul, Turkey, currently living and working in Ottawa, Canada. My practice encompasses installation, sculpture, and painting, through which I explore the transient nature of knowledge and visual culture with an inquiry into non-linear time.
My works are introductions to other stories, which exist in past, present, and future, traversing within and between cultures, communities, and histories. They aim to initiate negotiations between historical narratives of multiple perspectives, destabilizing the entrenched colonial history of progress, and generating new knowledge for the future.
Alongside my artistic practice, I am a writer, curator, and team member of Nosy Mag, an Ottawa-Gatineau based artist collective examining and building the region's culture through exhibitions, essays, events, and by providing resources.
