I believe art has the power to save us. For me, creating is a healing journey a way to travel through the hidden layers of my being and bring to light what usually remains unseen. My inspiration flows from themes of history, Nature , abandonment, and the forgotten.I am drawn to process-oriented techniques like printmaking and mixed media, as these materials carry metaphors of 'repair' and 'connection.' I find beauty in old, worn-out objects that bear the marks of time. In my collection, 'Memory Threads,' I work with fragments that hold their own stories: from a vintage 1960s novel and pages of One Thousand and One Nights to old newspapers and weathered fabrics. In dialogue with these pieces, I strive to weave my own narrative. These works are like small charms for me reminiscent of dreamcatchers, but designed to catch and protect history and memory.In my view, the process of creation is far more important than the final result. I find meaning through play, spontaneity, and the 'messiness' of the journey. To me, making art is a ritual a space where imperfections are celebrated, and where healing happens in the very act of creation. The path itself matters more than the destination."
