I am an archıtect from Turkey who lived in various cıtıes throughout my journey to become an archıtect or an observer such as myself.  As I grew with a camera in my hand, I have learned to seek moments staged not by me but by the complex coincidences of many others.

I have wandered through many spaces and places to seek to see certain beauty and chaos surrounding us. Being distracted by any changes and details around me, photography became a tool to record these moments of distraction. The subjects like our being in a space and lack of it fascınated me to observe The interaction happening in-between. The compositions and scenes presented result from these happenıngs with certain elements such as lıghts, layers, etc. more present than the others to express a feeling.
