My work is based on the idea of restoration — restoring connections after rupture.

My family history is defined by loss, forced displacement, and survival under a changed identity. All archives of my family were completely destroyed. In one of my projects, Connection, I attempt to rebuild this link and create a bridge between the past and the future of my lineage, so that memory can continue and remain alive — for my children, grandchildren, and future generations.

A similar rupture occurred in my own life when I was diagnosed with cancer. The medical treatment I went through made me vulnerable in every sense of the word — physically and mentally. Even after recovery, fear continues to return. The project Reconnection with my soul is connected to restoring a relationship with my own body after this experience.

The third line of my practice is connected to volunteers who have been restoring and maintaining a railway for over forty years. This project focuses on human contribution, care, and responsibility — through which what was destroyed can come back to life.

Nature also plays an essential role in my work. The landscape surrounding me during my years living in England has been a constant source of support and strength. In the project Nature Diary, I document my daily interaction with nature as a form of observation and meditation.

In Self-Portrait Diary, I turn the camera toward myself, reflecting on fear, vulnerability, and the ongoing physical and emotional changes following illness. These self-portraits are a way of staying present with what continues to unfold in my life.



My projects — Reconnection with my soul, Connection, Mark and History, as well as the diary-based works — are linked by one continuous line. This is a practice of restoring the body, family memory, connection with nature, and collective history.
