Art Perspective; In the complex and rapidly changing world of the 21st century, reality is no longer a tangible, fixed structure, but is becoming blurry and losing its meaning. As individuals living in this postmodern world, we no longer encounter the pure form of reality, but its distorted, reproduced, manipulated versions, living in a hyperreal simulation. I also encourage people to question not only the reality that the eye sees but also the reality that the mind tries to create by producing my works mostly in a realistic and hyperrealistic style. In my works, the viewer is invited to walk on that fine line between reality and simulation.
