The artist lives and works in İzmir. Can İncekara, transforming the memory of casual objects, it reveals the feeling of social memory with images that set out from personal memory. It does not only present the feeling of longing that nostalgia arouses in the individual in a melancholic and sad frame, but also ironically reflects the absurdity of being stuck in the past and not being able to catch it. With the watercolor technique, he shows the images in detail, referring to the fluidity of memory. Patterns and objects with personal experience arouse a feeling in the collective and turn into a common memory
