The artist, who began his artistic journey with video art and installation, has focused on painting and photographic printing techniques after 2023.

The series consists of visual data that symbolizes a search within itself. It strives to transform into a romantic narrative by revealing the traces of this search process through nature landscapes. It has different stories at different points in Eskişehir that embody the effects of the natural terrain. A structure that takes as its basis Heidegger’s definition of lack, asking questions about “what is what is not?” A process that is not expected to be completed, and perhaps impossible to reach a final conclusion. Each work records a sequence within itself, the stages of a search. The visual results, sometimes distinct and sometimes in limbo, sometimes approach the answer, and sometimes not even come close.
