To Our Flaws, 2025
Photocollage
16.8 × 22 cm (each page), accordion spread
Commissioned by Sanat Dünyamız

To Our Flaws was commissioned by Sanat Dünyamız, a Turkish art magazine, for its “Politics of Fragility” issue. The work takes the form of a collage composed of 191 photographs selected from the artist’s analog archive (2013–2025).

The images are marked by technical “failures”: overexposure, blur, misframing, interrupted gestures, faces turned away or overtaken by flash. Rather than being excluded, these flawed images are brought together as a visual field where error becomes a condition of visibility.

Spanning more than a decade, the archive moves between intimate gatherings and moments of collective presence, including images from the Gezi protests (2013), Women’s Marches, and Pride marches in Turkey, which are now banned. Within this constellation, personal and political fragilities intersect.
Conceived as a celebration of vulnerability, To Our Flaws approaches imperfection not as deficiency, but as a site where bodies, images, and histories exceed control, and where moments of rupture, both intimate and collective, persist.
