My name is İrem Köycü, I work as a Photographer and Designer in Turkey.

As a photographer living in the complex political atmosphere of Ankara, I consider seeking depths in the visual world as a journey. Venturing beyond Ankara has become a personal mission for me. Each frame not only captures the surface view but also presents an opportunity to reflect the inner world of individuals.Abstract compositions and unique details carry traces of emotions shaped by reality in my art. Each photograph takes viewers on a journey not only through the intricate fabric of a city but also towards the depths of the human soul.As a student of International Relations at Ankara University, I explore not only the external aspects of politics but also its impact on the inner world of individuals. Art, for me, represents not just a visual expression but also a quest to reach existential depths and seek meaning.The urban style, defining the theme of my photographs, incorporates elements from nature as well. While capturing the pace and complexity of urban life, I also endeavor to reflect the serenity of nature and the inner silence of humanity. The juxtaposition of urban complexity and the purity of nature is visibly expressed in my work.As a woman living in the intricate dynamics of a complex Middle Eastern country like Turkey, I continue to seek beauty and meaning through my art despite the complexities and challenges of life. With my talent and passion, I persist on my journey as an artist dedicated to exploring the inner journey of individuals and the quest for meaning in the world.
