Lara Ögel is an artist from Turkey based in Istanbul. She has produced books using aggregated personal imagery and text in an effort to resample her visual experiences in an intimate exploration of self. She often works with found and generated photographic imagery, drawing and text. She interprets found imagery by abstracting it; rather than attempt to divine some pre-existing meaning she seeks to possess the imagery through her artistic process.
