My work explores the intersection of heritage and the modern hustle in Istanbul’s urban landscape. I am drawn to the "in-between" moments—the shared glance between a traveler and a street cat, the steam rising from a vendor's grill, or the quiet exhaustion of the city's porters. By focusing on the textures of the street and the candid gestures of its people, I aim to capture Istanbul not just as a destination, but as a living, breathing organism where history is written daily on the pavement.
