Asli Narin works across photography, video, and installation. Through intuitive image-making, she explores cosmic awareness, coexistence, and interconnectedness inspired by nature, often focusing on thresholds, dualities, and cycles of life. She collects and recombines images through cutting, mixing, deconstructing, and reordering, using processes such as cyanotype and moving images, and employing controlled randomness that echoes natural systems. As an image-maker and an immigrant, Narin embraces abstraction and collage as liberatory gestures against the borders and expectations of the photographic apparatus, using visual exploration to question how connectedness is felt and perceived.
