Vita Sackville-West inspired Virginia Woolf’s 1928 novel Orlando, an exploration of gender and identity modeled on the two women’s intense romantic relationship. They remained so close that Sackville-West was one of the first people that Woolf’s husband, Leonard, notified of his wife’s probable suicide in 1941. He wrote, “[Virginia] has been really very ill these last weeks & was terrified that she was going mad again. It was I suppose the strain of the war & finishing her book [Between the Acts] ... I think she has drowned herself as I found her stick floating in the river, but we have not yet found the body.”

I am making paintings, installations, and videos to create visual narratives of my imagination and thoughts of my surroundings. My works are involved with little stories within the representations of grand narratives, by investigating in historical meaning, common perceptions of backstory and of their knowledge. Constructed through the written historical documentation (such as the history of civilizations which was always written by the conquerors; history of art, which was mainly concerned with male artists; anthropological studies on "primitive" cultures), grand narratives dismiss the personal and local narratives, and ignore the variety of means of existence. Through my works, I am questioning the credibility of the existing grand narratives. I find my subjects in ephemera, "unimportant" documents, and forgotten books. I combine the appropriated documentation with my own imagination and create alternative narratives. Playing with the perception of ‘what is real’ and ‘what is fake’, my works stand on a zone in which ‘the real’ and ‘the fake’ overlap. I work and live in Istanbul.
