Many important moments in life pass without a trace. We rely on memory in the hope of one day reconstructing the details of significant events, yet over time only blurred, barely perceptible images remain in our minds. In such moments, I turn to photography as my primary way of engaging with the world. For me, a photograph is not merely a document of the past, but a form of visual memory that preserves events and emotions that will never be repeated.
I create my works as a visual diary, capturing my state of being, everyday life, experiences, and emotional changes within a particular period of time. In exploring this theme, I turn to the genre of self-portraiture, at times moving away from direct representations of myself to create collages and images composed of objects that are dear to me — carriers of personal history and memory.
In my process, I use a film camera. The fragility of film as a material and its unpredictability become an essential part of the artistic statement. Light leaks, distortions, and traces of time lend the images a sense of mystery and subtle surrealism, deepening their emotional resonance.
