Istanbul, Edirnekapi, 2007.
Aliye, Mehmet, and their older sister Aynur unwind with games after a long day working along the highways.
Now, we’ve all grown into our own lives, with families, stories, and years between us. Soon, we’ll meet again.
And it makes me deeply happy!
From my coming book LITANY (Nouvel Publishing)
“These pictures represent fragmented memories from my early travels across the Balkans — and beyond, into Ukraine and Turkey — a region where history collides and phantom pains of the past remain deeply imprinted on the landscape.
As I now place all of this side by side — the landscapes and the people I have encountered — I realize that they do not come together as a chronology. Rather, they gather into a kind of inner topography.”
