Gülden Ataman, whose work is rooted in moments of integration and separation with nature, explores these themes through site-specific installations, photography, video, and sculpture, focusing on temporality and perceptions of reality. The desire to present perspectives from both shores forms the basis of her artistic endeavors. In her creations, she focuses on topics such as dreams, memory, illusion, and perception to document the ways in which humans interact with the Earth and the living spaces built upon it, and to examine how these interactions resonate on a conscious level.
