1990 yılında Ankara, Türkiye’de doğdum. Kendi hikâyelerimi anlatırken, anlatmak istediğim konunun biçimine en uygun dili bulup dönüştürerek kendime özgü bir anlatım dili oluşturuyorum. Benim için fotoğraf, evimde perdeleri kapattığımda neler olacağını yalnızca benim bildiğim güvenli bir liman.
İnsanlığın vahşi ve karanlık topraklarında gezinirken, hem kendi iç dünyamı keşfetme arzusunu hem de savaşın, açlığın, şiddetin ve doyumsuzluğun hüküm sürdüğü bir çağda evrensel temalarla bağ kurma isteğini taşıyorum. Bu çok katmanlı anlatıyla, kaosa ilgi duyan insanların varoluşsal çelişkileriyle yüzleşebileceği bir habitatın girişinin olup olmadığını sorguluyorum. Tüm bunların karşısında ise, sığınabileceği, nefes alabileceği, durup içsel dünyasının derinliklerine inmeye ve içsel zenginliğini keşfetmeye dair arzusunu yenileyerek yolculuğuna devam edebileceği vahşi bir güzelliğin yurdunu ya da fırsatını arıyorum.
Zaman ve mekân açısından sınırlı, somut bir konuya odaklanmaksızın, şiirsel çağrışımlarla ilerlediğim fotoğraf kariyerimde, belirli bir fotoğraf stiline bağlı kalmaksızın fotoğrafı en basit işleviyle bir kayıt aracı olarak kullanıyorum. Çelişkili, gergin ve bazen şiddetli, bazen dingin duygusal anlara tanıklık eden bir ifade biçimi olarak…
I was born in 1990 in Ankara, Turkey. While telling my own stories, I create a unique language by transforming the one that best suits the form of the subject I want to convey. For me, photography is a safe haven where only I know what will happen when I close the curtains at home.
As I wander through the wild and dark landscapes of humanity, I carry both a desire to explore my inner world and a longing to connect with universal themes in an age dominated by war, hunger, violence, and insatiability. With this multilayered narrative, I question whether there is an entrance to a habitat where those intrigued by chaos can confront their existential contradictions. In the face of all this, I seek the homeland or opportunity of a wild beauty—one where I can take refuge, breathe, pause, renew my desire to delve into the depths of my inner world, and continue my journey of self-discovery.
In my photography career, which progresses with poetic connotations rather than being confined to a concrete subject limited by time and space, I use photography in its simplest function—as a recording tool. Without adhering to a specific photographic style, I employ it as a witness to emotional moments that are contradictory, tense, sometimes violent, and sometimes serene.
