Writer. Performer. Photographer. Creative facilitator. Founder.
I created Sprinkle of Happiness from a deeply personal place.
The story
Sprinkle of Happiness grew from survival, recovery and creative expression.
It grew from Kaan's experiences of trauma, mental-health challenges, homelessness, survival and recovery, and from his belief that creativity can help people find their way back to themselves.

Creative archive
Pages, photographs, performance and movement as ways of holding a life.
Creativity
Ways to process, hold and imagine.
Writing, poetry, photography, performance, movement, spirituality and community became ways for Kaan to process what he had experienced and imagine a different future.
They did not erase the difficult parts of life, but they helped me hold them with greater understanding and compassion.
Kaan's book
A Sorrow Forever Blooms in My Chest
Thirty-three poems written between Istanbul and London, about grief, desire, migration and belonging. Kaan writes openly about mental health, including living with bipolar, and about dreams and the subconscious, in a flowing style without full stops.
For anyone who has never quite fitted into one country, language or identity, and for readers drawn to poetry about healing and recovery.
Paperback · 104 pages · Published October 2026
