evidence: Born and raised in Istanbul , Turkey , Eylul Aslan is a photography artist and a Turkish feminist that is known for her gender-defying photography .. She studied French language and literature at Istanbul University and eventually moved to Berlin , Germany , where she lives and works today .. Born to a mother who was a complete liberal feminist and the Chief of Women 's Rights for the Turkish opposition party CHP , and a father , surprisingly , from the conservative north and is devoutly Muslim , Aslan believes her family is an accurate representation of Turkey itself .. CHP. Republican People's Party ( Turkey ). `` There is a mix of everything . ''. After her parents ' divorce , Aslan , the only child , spent lots of time around her mother .. `` She 's had a big influence on me .. She 's the one who gave me my first camera -- so it 's all her fault . ''. Aslan has also been `` sexually harassed more times than she can count .. Women around the world are treated like objects , but it 's somehow more aggressive in Turkey . ''. She started with self-portrait , modeling for her own photos .. Her cousin then became her first muse , and then gradually her friends wanted to model for her .. However , they would constantly ask her to make sure that nobody recognized them .. Aslan 's art has a clear focus on women .. She positions her models in states of undress before cracked mirrors and distorted glass , and creates figures that are fractured and bare , consciously objectifying the female form .. As topics such as gender and sexuality have grown to be increasing important in Turkey , Aslan believes such reactions to her work is due to the lack of open discourse about women in Turkish society .. `` We do n't have female role-models that women can attach to , '' she explains .. In 2009 , at the insistence of her cousin , Eylul started a Flickr account and uploaded her photos , formally attaching her name to her work .. Despite her father 's disapproval and by 2012 , her work had gained a following in Turkey .. `` I cried at my first exhibition in Istanbul '' , Eylul says , `` women came up to me and said , ` We have to turn the mirror on ourselves , to look at ourselves and see if we are happy ..
