About Me
I have been deeply engaged with feminist thoughts and struggles since my teenage years. From an early age, I fought, to the extent of my own capacity, to achieve equality. As time passed and I stepped into the world of art, I came to believe that art is not merely a tool for expressing emotions and ideas but also a powerful medium to address and challenge social and political injustices. For this reason, I have always considered it my duty as an artist to use my creations to convey my voice and thoughts to others.
Since my first collection in 2014, the essence of my work has been centered on women and their bodies. Yet, these women do not appear directly in my creations; instead, garments take their place, speak on their behalf and narrate profound stories of femininity, identity, and inner strength.
While drawing is the foundation of my practice, over the years, I have also explored other mediums such as photography, mixed media, video, installation, and, more recently, printmaking.
My works are not only a reflection of women’s experiences but also a testament to their struggles, courage, and resilience in today’s world.
