The artist creates surreal landscapes inspired by human intervention in nature and construction sites in Istanbul, resulting in “earth anatomies” representing the ancient myths and worldviews tied to the earth. These large paintings omit temporary elements, offering a timeless perspective, with traces of lost civilizations emerging in works with archaeological references. In “Urban Anatomies,” the artist transforms Beyoğlu’s urban layout into open-topped cubic forms symbolizing the region’s diverse history.
