I float in the freedom of not belonging to any place; yet I am my past. In my paintings, I take the ferry to cross the wine-colored seas of the Bosphorus. In my songs, I walk the cobblestone streets of my first neighborhood. In my films, black and white photos of my family hang on laundry lines along with my childhood dresses. Nevertheless, I find inspiration in places I pass through and people I meet. I am interested in the simplicity of Japanese aesthetics, the mysterious power of illegible Islamic calligraphy, and the misty landscapes in Chinese paintings. I talk about passion, desire, and love as I believe in carrying the burden of the deepest feelings, even if this might invite an amorous darkness. The moon, fog, dusk, icebergs, deep conversations, knowledge, night, and white peonies are a few of my favorite things.
