Winner of 181 prestigious international photography awards in just three years, Bahar Kural is a rising star in contemporary photography. Bahar’s entire ouvre captures the existential dilemmas of humankind, focusing on questions of existence - individuality, freedom, authenticity and passions - often portraying people as silhouettes, shadows or unattached beings against a backdrop of vast landscapes or urban environments, posing her audience questions about their own lives through the subjects. Central to her art is the idea of living life as a work of art - experiencing architecture, people and nature as abstract elements which she continuously redefines both in relationship to each other and in absolute terms within the thought process of an existentialist. Her photographs live in a parallel universe of dreams made real.
