Artist Statement

Starting from the observation of the body, movement, and transformation, my research raises questions about the vision of patriarchal society, objectification, silencing, and erasure of women, as well as exploring the role of the body in this context. I employ a variety of languages including video performance, photoperformance, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and installations. The baroque aesthetic exerts a significant influence on my work, manifesting through dramatization and the interplay of light and shadow. My life experience and the pursuit of healing permeate my artistic processes. By exploring dualities and seeking to address delicate themes in a non-aggressive manner, my work prefers to intrigue, provoke a certain discomfort, and awaken curiosity in the viewer.
