☆ ABOUT ME ☆
My name is Aya [EYE-UH] Doslu [DOE-SLOO] and I am a multidisciplinary artist with a BFA in Intermedia, born and raised in Portland, Oregon.
Why the Name "Absurd Aya"?
Thats a great question, and I'm glad you asked. I did not make my artist name "Absurd Aya" to say that all my art is absurd in the negative sense of the word. Rather, absurdness to me means a lack of objective meaning or truth; and when I think about the big picture of life and its meaning.. it's absurd!
"The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning... It is not this discovery that is interesting, but the consequences and rules of action drawn from it" - Albert Camus.
Being neurodivergent, my brain often favors categorizing things, and splits ideas into black and white answers. I find a lot of power and freedom in embracing this theory that "life is absurd"; and I can stop searching for the 'right' answers on how to live my life. Embracing absurdity is my autonomy.
