1. What's the idea that's obsessing you now?

During the pandemic period the order of importance of our lives has changed a lot. I am thinking about how the sociological and psychological changes will affect  the perceptual relationships with space with ‘new normal world’. Since we have been involved in social life less physically, opportunities of coincidental experience are decreasing outside. But this stability seems to get refresh or reverse the spatial perception. For instance how perception of human-nature-city is going to be in the future? I am investigating 'theories of perception' to be able to find out and predict this subject which I am professionally obsessed with.

2. What would you like to create next ?

A personal exhibiton to present my amateur doodle artworks. It does not have to be a in a physical space, it may be a well-designed virtual exhibition.

3. Where do you go for inspiration ?

It depends on my mood. But it can be anywhere which i can observe formations with distinctive features of different geographic regions.

4. What is your favorite everyday object ?

My micron pens.

5. What’s the last book that made you inspired?

It was a comic book by Enki Bilal called ‘The town that didn't exist’.  I was impressed through this book that I have established a connection between the human behavior that is obliged to live indoors and individuals in utopia today.
