I am a visual artist based between Japan and Turkey. My work begins with walking, spending time in a place, and paying attention to what quietly remains. I am drawn to landscapes shaped by the passage of time, where memories settle into the environment and traces of human presence continue to resonate long after they are gone.

As I walk, I notice recurring forms, worn surfaces, fragments of architecture, and paths shaped through repeated movement. These encounters become a way of reflecting on how places hold memory. For me, memory is not fixed or complete. It shifts, fades, gathers, and returns, carried through the material and visual language of a landscape.

I am interested in the relationship between people and the places they inhabit. Histories linger in subtle details, in layers of construction and erosion, and in marks left by use, weather, and time. By paying attention to these quiet signs, I explore how landscapes become repositories of collective memory and how they continue to shape our sense of belonging and identity.

Rather than documenting a place, I approach it through observation, repetition, and prolonged engagement. My work emerges from an ongoing dialogue with the environments I encounter, seeking to reveal the visible and invisible layers that accumulate over time. Through this process, I reflect on how memory is continually rewritten and how our understanding of place remains in constant transformation.
