"Where the angels wings touches the dust, there my soul rests..."
Artist statement
In my art I am concerned about the transition from nomadism to „culture clash“. It is about to be connected to nature in today’s urban society, about wanderlust and uprooting.
I have grown up in the gray area of German – Turkish and Pakistani culture.
So what I often present in my work is bridging these gaps and the question of cultural affiliation.
With my work I question the existence of national and religious borders, go to the spiritual level and create worlds beyond actual cultural borders.
I use different media for this:
Abstract landscape and portrait photography using analogue technology.
The human figure in nature plays a major role here but also in other media.
I mainly make experimental video works, often with a performative approach. Poetic in text and images. I create the music/sound myself. I also experiment with calligraphy, whether in film or in painting.
Poetry is therefore the connection between all my artistic disciplines.
