Her article entitled “Cabinets of Curiosity as a Source of Inspiration in Artworks” was published in Journal of Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Hacettepe University in 2016. Dreams, nightmares, fairytales and fragments of city are the main themes constituting the starting point of Çınarʼs works. The artist questions the concepts of city and urban through the fears, concerns, dilemmas of the urban individual and ambiguous, hierarchical and complex structure brought along by metropolitan cities.
