Visual artist,

She uses different kinds of techniques to represent her ideas, such as printing, painting, drawing, moving image, sound and video editing.

These techniques let her make large size moving images which mostly are dreamy and poetic.

A series of installation called " Poetic Video " which they present with a combination of video and animation.

" As a woman who has lived in different cultures,

I research identity in most of my works.
What makes my works valuable are my researches around mythology, dream, literature, poem and different cultures.

Moving images are one of the most important thing in my artistic path I use this for presenting the time and the space.

Each of my works are like daily notes of my own personal daily life. They capture the way that time goes by with all the difficulties and beauties. ”
