About the artist / Artist's Statement
Every transition affects and alienates our lives’ journey, especially in our mobile city today. For people like me who need to adjust to the changing patterns of this world, Art provides a little inner space for me. Searching and exploring become the necessity to my life as an artist, and as a survivor.
