Inspired by my Turkish background, the designs in my thesis project, Reflections of Treasure, blend my upbringing, the diversity of my hometown, and Turkey's unique botanical richness. Each piece carries its own unique expression, adorned with botanical patterns and natural forms. My choice of leather adds another strong dimension. My collection offers a rich narrative that depicts my journey, blending personal aesthetics and the harmony of nature.
