I approach space as a living medium, an intersection of memory, emotion, and possibility. My practice spans installation, scenography, and exhibition design, treating space not as static form but as narrative: a site of tension, reflection, and transformation.
With a background in spatial storytelling and critical design, I conceive creation as a dialogue between material and meaning, the tangible and the intangible. I am drawn to thresholds between the personal and political, the visible and the hidden, the present and the speculative. My work engages overlooked narratives, minor histories, and the quiet rituals through which people occupy and reshape space.
Collaboration is essential to how I work, both as method and ethos. I construct environments that invite embodied, relational engagement and resonate across cultural and emotional registers.
Alongside my individual practice, I co-develop Studio Cumulus with Baran Goktepe who is a designer, artist, architect, and urbanist. The studio is an evolving platform for spatial experimentation at the intersection of public space, architecture, and narrative design. Together, we explore how collective environments can challenge dominant spatial logic while remaining materially and socially responsive.
My work is driven by a sustained inquiry into how space can be both poetic and purposeful. I seek to create spatial narratives that unsettle assumptions, amplify marginal voices, and envision alternative futures grounded in the complexity of the present.
City At Sea Level - Speculative Scenography Installation
City at Sea Level is an immersive installation speculating on the transformation of urban space in the face of climate collapse. Inside a cylindrical fabric structure, a raised platform displays fragments of a familiar cityscape submerged by an unseen flood. Visitors view the scene from below, as if underwater. The work invites reflection on how architectural environments might be reimagined when rising sea levels render the everyday strange, fragile, and obsolete.
