A playfully critical approach to lifestyles shaped under the domain of mass media and consumption constitutes the method of her artistic practice. Her work takes its source from the social milieu she lives in and reflects her experience through the reconfiguration of mass culture’s visual language. Her work is comprised of pieces that are already existing dispersedly in circulation, gathered under different common denominators. The challenge for her is to form a collection of particulars into such an image that works as a visual diagram on consumption habits, hard to see/easy to miss situations, blind spots regarding to material culture. It is an effort of analyzing what is experienced now in both senses, as ‘the era we live in’ and as “the instant we digest”. This attempt, invites to a consideration of insignificant details of life from different respects and points out the existence of propositions, which have great importance in the formation of life styles.
