Chapter 1
This chapter unfolds my most intricate works, a journey swaying between dream and reality. As you prepare to dive into an endless dreamscape… Don’t forget your parachute!
QUEEN of HEARTS, KING of SPADES
As children, our imagination was limitless… we built castles from playing cards and ruled kingdoms with kings and queens—a tribute to our childhood, and to the bodies we grew into beyond the empires we once created...
YOU ME I YOU
Stories circling around a glass – drifting between beliefs and desires, reality and dreams, sobriety and intoxication. Cheers, ladies and gentlemen……and perhaps also for those who stumble on the stairs
SPIN/2025
A single body carries a thousand divided minds.
Wonder, awareness, and dread are chained together, while factories feed power and wisdom bows to the system.
Even silence becomes another echo of captivity.

FROG/ 2025
The moment a woman realizes that the perfect man, who graces the lives of many women, has not transformed from a frog into a prince despite all her efforts, the disappointment in that moment…The helplessness and struggle to break free she feels while thinking about the fleeting self and time slipping through his hands… And yet, despite this awareness, the weight of the faith and commitment she has given to the relationship… Her entrapment within irretrievable time
A WHOLE OF TWO/2025
There is me in you, and you in me. From the whole of both of us, there is one whole. Everything is a little you, a little me. We have ghosts of the past watching us, as we merge in the spiral of our relationship.
THE BUTTERFLY´S KISS/2025
Dreams reaching the sun, caught on the wing of a kite, watched by a vampire, from the mouth it closes with a butterfly's wings while trying to take your blood with a farewell kiss, stories and more leading to small childhood balloons and school years… A self that forgives by embracing itself.
HIDE US/2025
Caught in the whirl of tangled relationships, here I am, a little child struggling to be noticed…
THE WEDDING/2025
A humorous interpretation of a wedding scene, created through the artist’s distinctive distorted figurative forms and shifted perspectives.
THE MIRAGE OF BEAUTY
The man who gets lost while searching for beauty, and the little ghost that whispers memories of the past into his ear.
CYCLES OF BEING/2025
Angry, sad, happy, thoughtful… All emotions are ours, all thoughts and faces are ours. We are not obliged to choose one; they are all one, they are us. Like the leaves of nature changing color, falling, and growing green again…
WHEN WE MELT/2025
Come, let's melt together
Dreamscapes of Womanhood
...portray the desires drifting between dream and reality, embodied through the forms of women. Women are mostly depicted half-naked because nudity is not shame, but a metaphorical rebellion against being seen as sexual objects; I am as I am, a woman, existing fully in my femininity.
CASANOVA
Casanova, small but daring, navigates a world of desire and boundaries. Every touch tells a silent story of passion and play
HALF
Unfinished, it seems.. Both the story and this drawing...
DISTANT
Together yet apart, distant yet near. I see, but I don’t want to
11
Silenced voices knot in the throat, the imposed self grows heavy, the unborn lie shattered within
RED HOPE
The gate to justice and hopeful longings…
ANXIETY /2025
The inner storms hidden behind a smiling mask. The multi-faced nature of anxiety - the complex dance between outward joy and inward fear.
EMBRACE
Eyes whisper awakening, consciousness opens, self meets love
LILITH
Lilith, a symbol of free will and rebellion, depicted semi-nude among flowers, independent and powerful
CITY LIGHTS
The souls of women who can remain strong like warriors amidst the entire flow of the city and its order
ON THE WAY
With hopes in her pockets and unaware of the danger of the snake around her neck, she is on her way…
THE DOORS
This image represents a liminal space that transcends the perceptual threshold; doors and stairs symbolize subliminal pathways to the subconscious, marking the threshold of transition rituals and repressed memories. The larger, semi-nude female figure reflects the maternal archetype of protection, while the smaller girl in the background evokes the inner child and vulnerability—this relationship highlights ego defense mechanisms and the instinct to protect after trauma. The eye motif adds a layer of third eye awareness or surveillance anxiety, transforming the connection between the figures into a metaphor for the collective unconscious.
SKATE DANCE
A woman gliding on her roller skates and a man riding a skateboard; two souls, moving to different rhythms, yet sharing the same sense of freedom
Under the Skin of Order
...the invisible layers beneath societal structures, where imposed identities and standards shape the human form. Through intertwined figures, it reflects the tension between conformity and the silent search for an authentic self, hidden under the weight of imposed order.
FIGHT CLUB / 2025
A3, brush pen & charcoal
This piece is a visual homage to Fight Club, reflecting the awareness of the system’s inherent flaws.

Dreams, Lives and Phantoms / 2024
The open-mouthed woman (mother) figure symbolizes both nurturing and consuming forces within the system, representing how identities are swallowed and reshaped by it. Within this structure, a spiraling search unfolds where inner desires intertwine with social obligations, dreams of home, work life, constructed hopes, and reality. While revealing the silent conflict between conformity and the suppressed self, small ghost-like figures hidden within the lines symbolize the childlike spirits within us.
TEA / 2024
Stories symbolized by multiple layers in which the experiences of womanhood intertwine. Anatomical distortions, as in many drawings, here also bend reality, perfectionism, time, and space, emphasizing that the phenomena we call “meaning” and “reality” may be the result of our perceptions.
KYBELE / 2024
This seated female figure is inspired by Kybele, the ancient Mother Goddess of Anatolia, a powerful symbol of fertility, abundance, nature, and the cycle of life. The artwork visualizes feminine emotions within this cycle, shaped and intertwined through spiral lines, conveying a layered and profound narrative.
TRAMPOLINE /
2024
The linear depiction of leaps between time, space, and identity. An expressive drawing portraying an individual's life confined by time, place, responsibilities, and obligations, illustrating the journey of identity formation from childhood to adulthood through symbolic imagery emerging from the body.
THE KEY / 2024
The subject depicts various aspects of life, including birth and death, represented through symbols of multiple people and masks. A key plays a central role—symbolized by a man holding a key that dangles from a chain attached to his hand.
Note: This drawing is a single-piece artwork, originally sketched in pencil.
