When I was a little girl, I used to look down the viewfinder of my father's Voigtlander and was mesmerized by the upside down world in it which felt so different. This time, I looked down to the sea and tried to catch a similar sense of unfamiliarity in the distorted beauty of human form under the water.
I am a ceramic artist and photographer. I studied computer programming at Bogazici University in Istanbul and Korean ceramics at Sungshin Women’s University in Seoul. My interest in photography turned into a passion as I started to study at the International Center of Photography in NYC. I was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1967 and have lived in Istanbul, TelAviv and Seoul.I currently live in Scarsdale, New York.
