“Since I was a child, everything happened in my mind. I was dreamy and shy. The reaction to every accident was illustrated in my mind and there was another life in my mind until I chose theater major at university and started photography courses at the same time. I went to see life the apart from reality, however alive, on the scene, taking pictures of the moments when I saw myself, and then in the real world, looking for every piece of life I had not lived I went by my camera to others. I went around, watching and taking photos so much that I collected my pieces and changed into a girl who can have a reaction to anything beyond her mind and follow every dream out of her mind now. Photography became a part of my soul. I take pictures since I have discovered and watched myself so many times along this way. I continue to take pictures to live and illustrate my worries, sharing them with others. I passed several photography courses in the meantime and reached a social documentary dealing with human issues.”
