I am particularly drawn to public art and the ways it transforms the spaces we inhabit, creating moments of connection, reflection, and conversation. Whether in a major museum, an independent gallery, or on a street corner, I enjoy discovering how art shapes our understanding of place and of one another.

The vibrant street art scene in Tophane, Istanbul, offers a powerful example of how art can serve as a vehicle for political expression and social commentary. The murals and installations found throughout this historic neighborhood speak to broader conversations about identity, resistance, and cultural preservation in contemporary society.

These explorations remind me that art exists in many forms—not confined to institutional spaces but alive in the everyday urban landscape, speaking directly to communities about issues that matter.
