Güçlü Öztekin is known for his large-scale works created with materials, such as Styrofoam and kraft paper. He uses materials that are within his reach as an act of recycling. According to Öztekin, an artwork is in its most crude form until it is exhibited; therefore, in order for the artwork to acquire its full effect during an exhibition, it must be reprocessed.
