No Room for a Door, Vision Art Platform, 2021
Suspended Stillness is a photography series on a world abruptly paused. Captured during the global Covid-19 pandemic, the series turns its gaze toward the altered rhythms of daily life and the uncanny quiet that settled into once-familiar spaces. The body of work explores how public and private environments became sites of introspection, uncertainty, and subtle transformation. The visual vocabulary of the series is deeply inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper, whose work captures the quiet tension of everyday life with a sense of isolation and introspection.
Akbank 38th Contemporary Artists Exhibition, 2020
The extraordinary period that whole world is experiencing now (during Covid-19 pandemic) causes the events that shake the domination of spectacle and change the definition of daily life. The fact that the future is behind a cloud of dust, transforms the spectacle into a fragile layer between truth and society. This situation traps people to an indeterminate stillness in which they have to focus on their own existence. In this context, the Suspended Stillness series focuses on the daily spatiality of an infinite present.*
A selection from the series is exhibited in 2020 at Akbank 38th Contemporary Artists Exhibition curated by Melih Görgün. Another selection from the series is exhibited in 2021 at a group show called No Room for a Door in Vision Art Platform.
