The Alphabet of Bad, Sad or Weird Things
The Alphabet of Bad, Sad or Weird Things is a picture book I created during the pandemic when I moved to Lisbon for my master’s studies. It was my first time being away from my family for such a long time. Alone in a tiny, one-window room, I began wondering what other strange, sad, or unfortunate things could happen — to the world, to people, or to me. This book is a visual exploration through those thoughts, blended with my dark humor.

Alexander the Dreamer
Originally titled Rüya Göremeyen Burak and written by Nur Tunay, Alexander the Dreamer is a story for children aged 3–7. It follows a boy who struggles to dream, but when he finally does, he embarks on an amazing adventure. As the illustrator, my aim was to enrich the narrative by creating visual links between Alexander’s room, his friends, belongings, and the places or characters he encounters in his dreams. I used detailed compositions and warm colors to invite children to explore each page closely, enhancing their engagement with the story.
The Searcher
The Searcher, named after the main character of the story, marks my debut as both an author and illustrator. As a migrant myself, and while developing my master's degree project, I began pondering what it would be like if cities, buildings and landscapes migrated instead of people. The story explores themes of migration, delving into feelings of loneliness, the challenges of fitting in, and the quest to find one's sense of belonging. Ultimately, it remains open to various interpretations, in a wordless book that aims to resonate universally, inviting readers of all backgrounds to connect with its narrative, find new meanings and create their own stories.
