After giving birth to my daughter in 2019, my life completely changed. For 3 years, my day and night have been spent with Gülsüm Elif, and an outsider's eye will undoubtedly say that everything has become quite ordinary for me. But contrary to what is seen from the outside, my inner world has not become ordinary, on the contrary, new emotional layers have opened up in my inner world regarding my motherhood and womanhood roles. At the same time, the fact that I couldn't find a way to describe myself, my feelings, my reality better than a photo frame has not changed. I could no longer leave the house to explore different places and experiences as I was in my life before motherhood, but it gave me great pleasure to notice the interesting things in the ordinary. That's where the "Colors" series was born. I started noticing and recording some colors, textures and objects, the monotonous actions of daily life. the photographs that make up the series; It was filmed in ordinary pastimes such as going to the park with my daughter, cooking, feeding her, playing with her toys, shopping... Afterwards, I decided to put together these photo frames that I took in their unvarnished state. Thus, I combined the pieces of my experiences created by my effort to exist as a woman and a mother and a photographer in daily life, in a way that turns them into a coherent and vibrant whole.
I share with you my effort to create a new meaning with the simple aspects of life. I do not see the place we live in as a world made up of details that can be dismissed as simple, and I glorify the role of every detail in making sense of the world.
