Heart of Anatolia is a 4-minute video where the artist lip-syncs to a song produced by AI, performing in a domestic and intimate bedroom setting. The work explores the complexities of post-migrant identity, navigating between two cultures. It delves into the experience of a queer body, addressing themes of conservatism, fetishization, and the tensions between tradition and modernity.

The video also critiques the dynamics of online content creation, sexualization, and intersectionality, offering a reflective commentary on how identities are shaped and commodified in digital spaces. The intimate setting of the bedroom contrasts with the larger societal issues being explored, highlighting the personal within the political.

By using AI-generated music and a familiar, domestic backdrop, Heart of Anatolia creates a space where the artist’s identity is both performed and questioned, drawing attention to the fluidity of culture, sexuality, and belonging in contemporary times.
