We are all low-key used to looking from an ego-centric point of view as we live our lives. It is as if the world only lives when we are at that point, and it freezes unchanged after that. Since we are used to living as the only character who can change their world just like video games, we have to admit that the places we don’t see are in motion independent from us.

Birds represent freedom in almost every field of art. Not belonging to one place, being able to go to another place whenever they want, and most importantly being able to fly. We think they’re free just because they don’t measure distance in steps as humans do. However, their lives also pass in certain routines. People …
Photographs are an art form that is delicately structured to tell us something, a story, in every encounter. Regardless of being conscious or unconscious, photography gives meaning to itself. Although when the photographer avoids attributing meaning, the viewer gives a meaning with his own connotations as he looks at the photograph. In its current form, …
