During liminal periods of all kinds, social hierarchies may be reversed or temporarily dissolved, continuity of tradition may become uncertain, and future outcomes once taken for granted may be thrown into doubt...
Resulting from atrophy and accumulation, mediated through water, the materiality and shape of the work manifests a resting equilibrium of opposing forces of time...
‘I am become death, the destroyer of worlds’ takes its title from the words of the Hindu sacred text, the Bhagavad-Gita that ran through American theoretical physicist (the ’father’ of the atomic bomb) J. Robert Oppenheimer’s mind as he watched the first detonation of his brainchild on July 16, 1945...

The analog photo negatives have been repeatedly exposed to radioactive soil samples from the nuclear exclusion zone in chernobyl...
A mushroom is like a sponge, it accumulates and archives substances such as radioactive material from the soil. Thus this almost-forgotten fungus, which once played such an indispensible role in our lives, is facing an uncanny, present-day renaissance...
Ipomoea seeds are used by indigenous cultures in rituals to get in touch with the wisdom of nature. The seeds are resistant to high doses of radiation though in commercial production are articiallly irradiated to provoke changes in flower colour...

The sculpture Dark Fossile Abakus continues the artist’s use of coconuts as a physical symbol of radioactivity; Combined with the deliberate appearance of a child’s counting beads, the work captures time’s precarious nature...
Pure Chance consists of four dice made of uranium-rich ore, two dice cups of black leather and 34 transparent containers (blisters) filled with the 17 rare earth elements, arranged on a black felt rectangle ...
In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the celestial heavens forever. In this work, the damaged collum carries the world, a brittle plinth acting as a metaphor and memento of the potential disasters to come...
Fossil Fuel are etherial sculpture crafted from cylindrical glass and wood, resembling fuel rods or electric fuses in nuclear power plants. At the heart of each rod, a skewered coconut delicately floats. The artwork alludes to the present-day consequences of nuclear testing that occurred during the Cold War...
The installation MORIBA, illumine creates a space for participatory experimental experiences. MORIBA, illumine is an interrogation of humanity’s psychological, emotional, and physical responses to the increasing radioactive contamination of the planet. Our species has summoned future fossils: radioactive particles from nuclear experimentation that will long outlive the languages that we use to describe them today...
Utilizing the radioactive potential of uranium minerals, the artist creates a contemplative void into the uncanny cosmos of radioactive sediments. The radioactivity of the ores leaves visible traces on photosensitive material, a process that refers back to the infamous discovery of radioactivity by Henry Becquerel in 1896...
The work features 9 half coconuts coated with graphite, arranged around a piece of uranium ore in the center. The use of coconuts is a reference to the radioactively contaminated coconuts as a consequence of the nuclear testings at the Bikini Atoll.
Nucifera Metamorphosis is an evocative, hauntingly beautiful series of 37 unique pieces. The artworks are created through a double exposure process, where color-negatives of coconuts are exposed to radioactive soil samples from the Bikini Atoll.
Equilibrium, Bikini Atoll Containment is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking installation that uses a combination of materials such as coconuts, glass, salt water, lead plate, and wood to create a visual representation of the dangers of nuclear waste and its potential impact on the marine environment...
Matter is a video art piece that explores the themes of remoteness and the impact of human actions on the environment. To a western observer, the remoteness of the Bikini Atoll (located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean) and of Yozgat (located in central Anatolia) seems to induce feelings of boredom, irresponsibility, and a kind of romance triggered by the "exotic"...
