about

I am a Turkish-American artist whose work explores protection, identity, and cultural symbolism through the language of pointillism. Rooted in my heritage, my pieces are centered around the nazar, the protective eye symbol deeply embedded in Turkish culture, while also drawing from protective symbols found across different traditions and histories.

Using thousands of carefully placed dots, I build layered compositions that reflect both fragility and strength. The repetitive, meditative process of pointillism mirrors the intention behind these symbols: quiet, persistent protection. Each piece becomes a space where cultural memory and contemporary expression meet.

My work is not only about preserving tradition, but expanding it, connecting the nazar to a broader, universal human desire for safety, energy, and spiritual protection. Through this, I aim to share a sense of power, grounding, and protection with others.
