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.”

Istanbul, Yeşilköy, 2002.
The films of Theo Angelopoulos have long lingered in me - guiding me toward the sea, toward harbors where time seems to hesitate. This image is one of many, gathered during slow, wandering days across Istanbul.

Istanbul, 2002.
I’ve always felt this image carries different meanings depending on who looks at it — desperation, difficulty, or something entirely different.
— what do you see?

This couple in Maidan Square, Kyiv — something about them stayed with me. Quiet, close, untouched by everything moving around them.
