I am an artist and animator from Istanbul, Turkey based in Bergen, Norway. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2018 with a BFA in Film/Animation/Video. The same year, I joined Signe Baumane’s studio in Brooklyn as a set maker on her recent film, My Love Affair With Marriage. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s in Fine Arts at the University of Bergen.
My practice is versatile and improvisational. I let my language adapt to the needs of each project depending on the materials and equipment available in a given environment. Though things change on the surface, my creative impulse is rooted in exploring the intersections of self and the collective. Through visual narratives, I seek to understand how we construct meaning within the spaces we inhabit, and how those spaces, in turn, define and shape our sense of being.
I am always open to collaborations and would love to hear from you!
