Orchard
Here the orchard is not a study of nature but a language of ornament. Ripe forms, leaves and branches are simplified into a repeating rhythm. Abundance is built not through realism but through decorative memory.
Thistle Scarf
The ornamental scrolls, stylized florals, repeating lattice structures and botanical silhouettes reference centuries of decorative traditions, yet every element has been simplified into a modern graphic vocabulary. Historical motifs become lighter, more geometric and intentionally restrained.
Cross Tile
A four-armed geometry drawn from tilework and stone, built on a single module. As the module repeats, the surface becomes less a grid than a pattern that breathes. The geometry is never rigid; it carries the warmth of the hand.
Wild Vine
A pattern that rebuilds the movement of vines at a micro scale. As the curves shrink, the surface thickens and the burgundy ground deepens. Up close the elements blur together; as a whole they read as a rich texture.
Cornflower Scarf
The cornflower grows from a single motif at the centre of the silk composition. Colour is kept quiet so form and repetition lead. Even when the scarf is folded, the rhythm of the pattern holds.
Bordered Field
A field pattern framed by a border. The inner micro-repeat stays calm and dense while the edge gives the composition a frame and a point of rest. Designed at 150 cm, it reads equally as a scarf and as a fabric.
Acanthus Scroll
Rather than recreating the past, these patterns create a conversation between eras. They explore how ornament can evolve without losing its cultural memory, where heritage is preserved not through repetition but through transformation.
Seven Hills of Istanbul
Istanbul was built on seven hills, each crowned with domes and minarets that have shaped its silhouette for centuries. Here I redraw them in my own language, layering photographed monuments with the ornament that has always lived beside them: the tulip, the pomegranate, the peacock. Stone meets pattern, document meets decoration. It is less a portrait of the city than a memory of it, rebuilt through colour, line and repetition.
Dream Beybi Dream
A complete decorative alphabet drawn for the baby brand Dream Beybi Dream. Every letter grows its own small world of petals, vines, seeds and creatures, turning language into illustration. The letters became prints, and the prints became pieces small enough to wear. There is a particular joy in seeing a project like this come to life on a child.
