In my recent ceramic works, I focus on two separate concepts. Firstly, I question the place of women in society, whom she wants to challenge the limits of her freedom in the search for social identity. Secondly, I try to create social awareness with the concept of seed for the rebirth of nature, in which the understanding of the nature destroyed by man is questioned.

In myy works, firing techniques are as important as shaping the ceramics. I generally use alternative ceramic firing techniques such as Raku, Saggar, Copper Matte and Luster. I also write new stories in the memories of the past by using different materials, especially waste or second-hand materials and combine them with my ceramics.
My art works are exhibited in the permanent collections of official and private institutions, especially in America, Argentina, Romania, Turkey and China. I participated in more than 30 ceramic workshops and symposiums as an invited artist and participated in more than 100 national and international groups and competition exhibitions. I also have 7 solo exhibitions and 7 international awards, and my research papers and articles have been published in international journals. I have been continuing as an academic and ceramic artist at the university in Turkey since 2006. Currently, I am working as an associate professor at the Music and Fine Arts University in Ankara, Turkey.
