In the most general form Gözde Ju uses different materials such as found photographs, textile as a tool in her works aiming to touch upon the issues of identity, culture, memory, gender and belonging. The artist is researching the relationship of concepts such as memory and culture with space.

Gözde Ju aims to point out the reality and uncertainty of women’s memories, past and consciousness by benefitting from the found photographs and dowery. She also aspires to make roles of women and concepts of identity, gender and memory questionable.The objects that she uses, beyond being only remembrance, express the socio-cultural content. These make cultural memory which is anchored in the time and space visible.
