Artist Statement

I create pink-tinted magical realism, where grainy images of our world are touched by glitch.

This blend stems from the remarkable beginning of my life — as if I were raised at the junction of all tectonic plates, closely encountering worlds that usually run parallel.

I spent lonely summers in silence with old magazines; other times, retreated to the solitude of the bottomless internet. I found peace among misfits and looked up to creators and laborers. I watched the shimmering illusions of conspiracy fantasies and found grounding in meticulous academic research. I took pleasure in sweat and labor, yet cherished modern conveniences. Through Russian, Turkish, and English, I explored both Asia and Europe.

That’s why my art reflects on the world’s layered nature and social responsibility — on the pull toward life — through photography, video, posters, and performance, all wrapped in the sounds of everyday life and mysticism.
