ISTANBUL MAGNIFIQUE
“If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.” – Alphonse de Lemartine
‘’…I am listening to İstanbul with my eyes closed. In a gentle touch, first a wind breezes; Leaves sway on trees. Without a hurry; Far, very far away, There are the never-stopping bells of the water-carriers I am listening to İstanbul with my eyes closed. Birds are passing by, then; From high above, in flocks, in screams.The nets are being pulled in the kiddles; A woman’s feet touch the water; I am listening to İstanbul with my eyes closed. A bird is fluttering on her skirts; I know if you have fever or not; I know if your lips are wet; A white moon rises behind the pistachio nuts know it from the beat of your heart;I am listening to İstanbul.’’ - Orhan Veli Kanık
SUN-KISSED
‘‘ Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.” - Rumi
Just as there is no depth of anything without a shadow, if you don't look for more than you see, life would be something you can’t grow into. In search of this story, I photograph shadows .As I photograph them I imagine another life for them, whereby drawing vibrant additions, I give them a heart beat as they are sun- kissed.
