In this exhibition, I explore the transitions that seem to blur even as we live them – from the freedom of childhood to the tension of adolescence and beyond to a world in which fear, uniformity and the pressure to belong often shape a person more than their own desires. I am interested in how innocence gradually collides with systems that change, dull or simply swallow it.

My works do not seek nostalgia or a clear explanation. They are visual questions to the present – ​​to what shapes us, where we lose our individuality and why aggression sometimes becomes a way to protect ourselves. Between play and fear, between chaos and order, between colors and darkness, a space appears in which one is no longer sure what is real and what is an inherited mechanism.

“Lost Transitions” is an attempt to look at the movement between these states – to those moments in which the world shapes us more strongly than we shape it. This is a look at the transitions we take for granted, but which actually leave traces, shape habits, create fears. And at the question of what comes next when childhood passes and adolescence provides no answers, only directions.
