I am a Turkish Ebru artist based in Dumfries, South Scotland. My practice is rooted in Ebru, a centuries-old art form that belongs to the water as much as to any tradition. Each piece begins and ends with water. The surface is prepared, the colours are laid, and then the hand moves — sometimes with intention, sometimes in response to what the water is already doing. What lifts from the tray cannot be replicated. This irreproducibility is not a limitation; it is the work itself. I came to Scotland from Turkey, and my practice has deepened here — in the stillness of a small studio in Dumfries, surrounded by books and quiet. Ebru was initially a private discipline, a way of remaining present during a period of significant change. When my daughter started school, I found myself with more hours at the tray, and what had always felt deeply personal began to feel ready to travel further. I am increasingly drawn to Ebru as an installation medium — exploring how marbled fabric, suspended in space, might hold and transmit something of the experience of migration, belonging, and the unrepeatable moment of arrival in a place that slowly becomes home. I am a member of the Scottish Society of Artists (SSA).
