The "Search for Identity" series has a strong visual narrative that encourages viewers to think and question. In this series, black and white portraits of women, whose faces are left blank, are completed with different colorful rug patterns on the back. While leaving the faces blank emphasizes the complexity of the individual's inner world and personal identity, rug patterns represent the traces of different cultures and backgrounds. The "Search for Identity" series offers viewers a unique experience through each portrait. The contrast of black and white and colored elements is used to achieve the balance between the inner and outer worlds. Masterfully applied on canvas with the acrylic technique, the portraits in this series draw attention to the artist's delicate brushstrokes and attention to detail. Each portrait addresses the complexity of identity, culture and society through female figures with a unique story.
