Moving Images
The timeless magic of moving images lets me create spaces where feelings and memories can breathe.
Afterwards
Driven by curiosity about my roots, I returned to my father’s birthplace two decades after his passing. In the attic of a house soon to be demolished, I discovered his youthful paintings, my grandfather’s wooden suitcase, and video footage my father shot in the 90s. Printing these frames using the cyanotype technique allowed me to linger in each moment, tracing the changes in the house and seeing through my father’s eyes.
This project became a journey of discovery, reconciliation, and farewell—an exploration of how memory fades yet lingers, and how curiosity bridges past and present.
Making of the
Curtain
The curtain is about revealing what is not known. Opening the curtain to each other, we didn’t know what was on the other side. We just went with it and let the developing of the curtain reveal what we created.
Using our hands was a marker of what brought us joy. The collective effort and energy from each one of us here, went into creating “The curtain”. It represents each of us and our diverse ways of working and thinking. We were simply led by the process rather than worrying about the outcome. Making the curtain helps us get to know each other but also get to know the forest.
Us and the forest
Us and our practice
Us, no expectations
but what seems most important is us and our emotions.

all that is solid
melts into air
Once a thriving village, Kayaköy was abandoned in the early 20th century following a population exchange between Greece and Turkey.
Today, its empty stone houses whisper stories of lives once lived. In this video work, I walked through the ruins with my camera, later reimagining the place through the dream of a single stone from one of the homes.
I aimed to evoke the genius loci while questioning our relationship with memory:
How do we remember?
What happens to our solid memories as they dissolve into air with time?
