Istanbul, Turkey

The main bridge that connects me between my past and my future is rituals, traditions, experiences like many others...

Her tren gecisi aslinda hayatin icindeki bir anlik durustur; oysa tren hizlidir. Icindekiler icin ise bazen kalma olasiliklari olan yeri gosterir. Minik anlarda da olsa orada kalir yolcular... Tipki bir trenin yillar once Istanbul’da karlari savurarak yanimdan gecerken beni Kara’s goturmesi gibi... Kalici olmakla gecici olmak arasindaki minik tutunus... Bir anlik mantik kaybi...- Each train’s passing is actually a momentary stance in life; whereas the train is fast. For those in the train on the other hand, it would sometimes show the place where they were likely to stay. Even if there were little moments, the passengers used to stay there ... Just like a train brought me to Kars when a train was passing by me in Istanbul feeling the snow scattered around myself many years ago ...A tiny gripping between being permanent and temporary.. A momentary lapse of reason...

Bir kakao ve Pasifik okyanusu konusuyorlarmis karsilikli. Beraber nereye kadar gidebiliriz demis kakao...

Okyanus dalgalanmis ve gulmus sularini saca saca... “ Oysa hep benim ustumden ucarken, ozgur olduklarini dusunuyorlar o minicik ucaklarin icinde...” Bugunlerde okyanus kenarinda bir kakao olmak istedim, ozgurce dalgalarla oynamak, gunesin batisini izlemek, uzanip yatmak umarsizca ve acelesizce... - A cocoa and the Pacific ocean had been talking. How long can we go together, said cocoa ... Depends on you; I am not finished, nobody will eat you, we will wander freely, wherever there is water, the ocean has been said ... Freedom is not our word, we already are free, that belongs to those people; said cocoa... Ocean fluctuated and laughed by scattering the water... As they fly, they think they are free in those tiny airplanes ... Nowadays, I wanted to be a cocoa by the ocean, playing with waves freely, watching the sunset, lying down reckless and leisurely...
