1. Neo Geo paintings/wall pieces (1982-95): abstract forms show new horizons, e.g., scientific discoveries or Dutch skies or the so-called "gecekondular," i.e., houses built overnight on the outskirts of Ankara, made with materials such as bicycle paint on aluminum painted with Aegean sponges;

2. "Iron and Fire" silhouettes (1996-2004): military vehicles as fertility symbols, psychedelic figures, based on Apolinnaire's experiences in the trenches of World War I;
