Poetic Türkiye
A year of my observation of life abroad, where time feels different and everything seems different. Of course, this is the influence of the big city. In the city you feel small, fussy, lonely, you want to succeed, plan ahead, a constant feeling of dissatisfaction, eternal comparison of yourself with other people. Disputes with the inner voice.
When you dreamed of a big city while being in a small one or vice versa. And when you find yourself far from your native and familiar places, you begin to yearn, fantasize and idealize this place.
A series of photographs taken in Türkiye is my analysis, a way to look at familiar, native places from a different angle, in a new way. Here, time seems to stand still among ancient ruins. And the inhabitants of the Turkish province, it would seem, lead a leisurely life on the shores of the mediterranean sea. But even being here, the feeling of the transience of life does not leave nature, man, animals, but rather becomes something more romantic and poetic. And if the adult generation humbly accepts their life, native places and parental home, then the younger generation lives with thoughts, hopes and fantasies about a more comfortable and promising life outside their hometown. And this is very acutely felt in Turkish cinema and in Turkish culture.
