I am a fifth year Turkish student in the Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program and will be graduating in May 2014. My work consists of images inspired by my experiences in different cultures, symbols from the nature and detail-oriented, hand-drawn patterns. I have experienced a variety of fields during my undergraduate education ranging from fine arts, design and academic research.
