Newspaper Collages

During the lockdown times of the corona pandemic, I was drawn to the power of headlines as a way to capture history in the making. Whenever a global event occurred—something unforgettable that shaped our collective memory—I created collages composed of cut-out headlines from newspapers and magazines. These collages served as a visual documentation of significant moments, reflecting the urgency and impact of these events. To emphasize their importance, I presented these collages as mockups in urban locations, transforming them into public art that demands to be seen, much like the history they encapsulate.
