Born in Ankara in 1999, she studied painting at Ankara Fine Arts High School.

She studied at the Félix Ciccolini École supérieure d'art d'Aix-en-Provence in France between 2021 and 2022. She graduated from the Painting Department of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2023. She is among the 5th term artists of the Art for Good Association's "A Year in the Passage" project. For approximately a year, she has been leading the workshops "Passport Intervention" and "Photo Intervention." She works as a stage painter at the Ankara State Opera and Ballet. She continues her work in her studio in Ankara.

Her works are primarily in oil painting, blending various techniques such as watercolor, photo intervention, digital collage, video manipulation, and installation with an intuitive touch in a symbolist-expressionist style. In her creative practice, the body, identity, and the individual's sense of self, which she considers to be in a constant state of transformation, are the main focus of her works. Drawing on her personal experiences, she explores the possibilities of liberation and reaching the true self through self-portraits, creating fictions about mourning, fragility, memory, various power dynamics, and human states.

Monologue in Mourning stages an internal game about the individual's grieving process and the transformation of identity. This series explores themes of repressed emotions, fragility, resistance, and confrontation through the artist's self-portraits from different periods. Each figure becomes a mover in this internal scene; sometimes aggressive, sometimes defensive, and sometimes simply waiting.

The series constructs the individual's mental universe like a chessboard. Each portrait represents a strategy, each text installation a thought resonating in the mind. Chess here is not a game; it is an intuition-driven plane of existence governing control, loss, calculation, and balance. The artist reveals the multiple layers of her own self on this board, inviting the viewer to become a silent witness to the play.

The fluidity of the oil paint reveals the emotional dissolution of the figures, while word installations created with PLA filament offer a material response to moments that leave a mark on memory. These words sometimes represent a thought one doesn't want to recall, and sometimes an inner voice that recurs. The words, arranged like stones scattered across the board, determine the rhythm and psychological tension of the narrative.

Mourning in Monologue is a space where the individual is both a player and an observer in an internal game, where healing emerges not as a fixed outcome but as an ever-delayed possibility.
