Mustafa Yildiz is a multidisciplinary artist from Istanbul, Turkey. He began his lens-based work volunteering for non-profits in marginalized areas, and this evolved into a personal, independent art practice. Currently an MFA candidate at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Mustafa combines personal and cultural narratives with life’s lyrical aspects through film, photography and printmaking. His work explores human emotions and existential questions through evocative portraits and stories, reflecting on both individual identity and the collective human condition.
