I’m very interested in contemporary art and design, almost exclusively, so most of my inspiration comes from what I see going on in recent years.

Özant Kamaci Work from Pause / Pause M. “In ‘pause’, the work depicts the juxtaposition of powerful machines which are symbols of advancement and technology against nature which is widely accepted as precious and untouched.
