An experimental and creative approach to the practices of knowledge production shaped under the domain of critical regard constitutes the method of my artistic practice. My multidisciplinary work takes its source from politics and reflects my experiences of academic studies in political thought and my research of visual culture. I play with different visual mediums from painting and illustration, to filmmaking and art installation, to form visual diagrams of knowledge. My art presents an effort to break the border between intellectual production only accessible to limited academic environments and the everyday unlimited visual flow of communication.

I call my art, “academic drawing”. For me, cropping and isolating sections out of philosophy and visual archives means to retell my daily personal drive which often involves reconstructing myself through this research data. I incorporate a range of diverse materials and outlooks. My works are comprised of iconic statements, canonic arguments, pieces of classical stories and everyday mottos that circulate in the social sphere, including memes of visual landscape which are gathered under derivative themes and aura.

I ask, what could be the place of contemplation in the contemporary era of simultaneous materiality and imagery of instability? The challenge for me here is to figure out and experiment with the blind spots regarding the abundance of visual culture and contemplative thinking. For this, I attempt to visualize philosophic engagement through the terms of transient cultural production. Representing the state of contemplation through the contemporary media of visually transmittable information requires perceptional re-orientation and change in emphasis in the sensible ground. My art builds on this endeavor of exploration in the perceptional logic and its historical development.
