I am a sonic and media artist whose work explores the intersections of sound, sculpture, and motion. Drawing on my background in Mechanical Engineering and Sound Arts, I investigate how the human body, technology, and the environment interact, particularly through the use of sound and kinetic sculptures.

Originally from Istanbul, my early practice was shaped by the dynamic urban environments and social complexities of the city. There, I explored how sound and movement intertwine with socio-political conditions, creating site-specific installations that responded to both the location and its history.

Since moving to Berlin in 2018, my practice has evolved by integrating engineering, interactive media, and sculpture. At the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK), I began experimenting with kinetic sculptures and sound objects that invite physical interaction, enabling me to explore the relationship between technology, body, and space.

This shift led my practice into a more politically engaged space—not through direct representation, but through an exploration of sound sculptures as emancipatory tools. I focus on their ability to disrupt, reveal, and engage, questioning how sound can unsettle fixed boundaries. My work invites the viewer to engage with the embodied interactions in the sculptures, creating a space where sound, movement, and technology challenge conventional perceptions of agency and control. Through this, I aim to create a dynamic environment where the audience rethinks their relationship to the material, the space, and the body.
