I’m an artist and researcher working in artistic research, visual storytelling, and climate justice with a focus on non-verbal and participatory methods. My practice explores environmental crisis, multispecies relations, and social inequality through wordless graphic narratives, illustration, and animation. I work across academic, artistic, and community-based contexts, producing research through exhibitions, publications and collaborative projects with universities, cultural institutions and international organisations. I have received a PhD offer from the University of Glasgow in Modern Languages and Cultures with a focus on Image and Text Studies. My research proposal centers on silent graphic narratives. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Painting from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts. My debut wordless graphic novel, Fishes May Come Back, was published in the UK. I am the co-founder of Light and Memory: Journal of Storytelling and Art Organisation and my non-fiction book on wordless narratives was shortlisted for The Bottom Drawer Prize in the UK. My illustrations have also been featured in The Guardian.

I currently serve on the advisory board of the Edgelands Institute (Pop-Up Institute affiliated with Harvard University), where I also co-lead the Art Department and Asian Perspectives, contributing to interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of urban life, digital culture, social change and environmental justice.
