In the process of understanding and making sense of life, I see life as a path and myself as a traveller. As I progressed through time, I experienced magical moments where I witnessed the mysteries of existence.

As "infinite beings of the universe", as Ibn Al Arabi puts it, I crave to understand what it is like to truly understand that infinity. I followed the traces of other lives outside the boundaries of the life offered to us and under the protection of wolves. My inquiries increased my admiration for the world we live on and the universe of which we are a part.

Art, on the other hand, became a tool opening to other realms, and in life often turned into a form, a writing or a colour. Meanings have enriched, values have changed.

The book I call Mana is a graphic novel of an interdisciplinary art project that is a projection of these enquiries.

My classical painting and sculpture works have diversified with digital paintings. The series I call Digital Engraving is the interpretation of our planet from a different perspective. In a process involving creative thinking and imagination, when the reins of thinking are left to intuition, every image can inspire and resonate with an association. This is what travelling through satellite imagery has achieved. The first application of this series is from Mesopotamia. This mystical land, which has given birth to civilisations for thousands of years, nurtured, nourished and buried them in its bosom, offers a gateway to a different land when viewed from above. Characters that appear to travel to the past and their present!

Lately, I feel a similar excitement that we felt in the early days of the internet, when we saw the ocean of possibilities before us, in the art applications of artificial intelligence. With the motto that the best way to understand is to learn, I determined my research topic in this field and focused on an art project.

Based on the idea that the human being is a universe on a macro and micro scale, I am embarking on a journey to the universe within us, our world and our cellular state in a universe full of galaxies. This project, which imagines our similarities and bonds, pursues the fascination of our distant or close bonds, our state which cannot control our heartbeats, and the feeling that fills us each time we look at the starry nights.

An artistic look at how a tool we create adds a new dimension to our perception and understanding, an artistic look at our expanding consciousness that opens up possibilities for us to discover new places in the infinite possibility of meaning that brings new definitions to the existence of everything.

The journey continues...
