Director Statement

In the images I create, I am interested in representations of reality and how they are formed for aesthetical and political reasons. I try to observe, as well as convey the reciprocal relationships between life and art. How realities are formed and the role that art plays in it is a major theme to my work. In this sense, the stillness in my photography and the fluidity in my films depicts the role of art within motion and time. I try to do so by focusing on the types of relationships we take on, and adapt to, that guides through our journey of survival. In "Bulutlar", I tried to do this by examining the life of a family very closely for four years; to observe and lay out the events and the contradictions that surround them.
