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.
