"Since childhood, my brain worked differently when it came to objects and events. When I saw something I didn’t like, it was almost natural for me to create a different version of it."
She believes it's important to keep a child in ourselves alive and to nurture her inner child she started to make toys using vintage and found objects. "Because, some things deserve a last detailed look before being discarded." She creates one-of-a-kind assemblages, figurines, wall art and sculptures using recycled steel, old tins, clock parts, and cutlery collected by herself.
She has also worked as an incharge of technical matters in the International Puppet Festival, International Music, Theater and Jazz Festivals. She has worked at the Cengiz Özek Puppet Theatre and has represented Turkey in several national and international festivals.
