Designer Ali Ekmekci says about his work: “My manifesto focuses on our ability to transform and subvert meanings through the language of performance and accumulation of cultural capital, made available to us from popular culture whatever our condition or circumstances. This approach involves deconstruction through transformation to empowerment.”
