[Music is playing]
Hello. My name’s Asya. What you’re listening to is one of my favourite singers from my childhood. He used to have a show as well with the kids, and it would be so fun to watch. He is very inspirational and also, he is kind of doing this psychedelic music. He’s one of the fathers of psychedelic music, and meshing it with folk music, Turkish folk.
I want to be a cloud. But not made of steam. I want to be a cloud of fluid. But not soft. I want to be a cloud flying and walking down at the same time. I want to be grounded, but I want my feet off the ground. I also want to be seen differently, but I don’t want to be seen unequally.
I want to be welcomed with my contradictions. I want to be welcomed but also celebrated, and that’s kind of why you’re here. And that’s why I’m here. I will celebrate even when I’m feeling down and the days are not really going “wow!”, even if I'm depressed and doing my crochets, even if I don’t want to associate with other people and I just want to be left alone. I want everything to be possible, but without excluding, without making anyone sad. But also I don’t want to make myself sad or compromised.
I want to sacrifice but also I don’t want to be consumed. And I feel sometimes I’m just living it, but then I don’t know what will come after.
[Music continues playing]
Welcome to my exhibition corner. Really great to see you. Thank you for listening to my voice.

Cece looks off to her right while sitting on a grey-felt covered couch. The same high cheekbones that she used to hate because they were too angular, too proud, too masculine, are now striking and elegant on her HRT-softened face.
Long, brown hair flows over her left shoulder and spills over her small, perky bosoms. Her gaze is soft while looking back at four decades of trying to fill the role of first-born male heir to the family name.
Her red lips are gently parted as if to say, you did the best you could in a place not meant for you. We don’t have to do that anymore. We found a home in our own body.

A soft, full-colour portrait of me standing quietly among the tender, reaching limbs of a willow tree. The leaves cascade around me in delicate strands, like nature’s own curtain, parting just enough for me to be witnessed.
The filtered light falls through the greenery, catching on my skin in warm, scattered patterns, as though the day itself is reaching for me. Some leaves frame my face while others blur gently into the foreground, creating the feeling of a dream.
I face the camera with a slight turn of my body, and my gaze is both soft and searching.
My curly hair, slightly tousled by wind and routine, and my gold septum ring catches the light, glimmering.
I am wearing an earth-toned shirt, layered with a dark jacket, my lips resting on the edge of a smile. At this moment, I don’t have to explain my gender, my softness, my strength, my ancestry, or my ache. Everything I carry is held by the branches and the light.
