Rite Of Passage Series

This body of work explores rites of passage through the quiet, sacred moments of transformation. Each figure is depicted with their eyes covered by fabric, symbolizing a state of becoming—where vision is not guided by sight, but by belief. The obscured gaze speaks to faith, trust, and surrender, capturing the tension between uncertainty and growth.

Rooted in cultural identity through the use of Ankara textiles, the work reflects the unseen forces that shape us—inheritance, memory, and spiritual grounding. These figures exist in a threshold space, taking leaps of blind faith, moving forward without clarity, yet anchored in something deeper.

In this way, the paintings honor the internal journeys we undergo—moments where we are called to become, not by what we see, but by what we are willing to believe.
