My practice centers on handmade ceramic and mixed media sculptural figures that explore emotional memory, fragility, and imagined inner worlds. Working through slow, tactile processes, I combine ceramic elements with carefully selected materials to create pieces that balance delicacy with quiet psychological tension.

As a self-taught artist with academic experience in engineering and philosophy, I am particularly drawn to the intersection of structure and intuition, materiality and psychological narrative. Influenced by mythology, animals, dream imagery, and contemporary figurative art, my work investigates the subtle relationship between tenderness and discomfort, innocence and strangeness.

Each sculpture is individually built and finished by hand in Türkiye, carrying traces of process, imperfection, and narrative presence.
