TITLE: "Az'aad" "48 hours in Adana, Refugee Neighborhood, Turkey’s Border, 2021
Imagine a neighborhood with borders, surrounded by police on the entrance and exit. I started to ask questions to myself. Then, I asked the police questions.
Why does the street have barriers?
Can I enter in?
Communication is the starter for the journeys in my world. As much as I can, questions are the primary things of my photographic searching. I asked the question to myself. I asked a question to the world for a better answer. But these times, I couldn't be asked the questions of people living in refugee neighborhoods. Because we don't speak the same language.
Do we need borders? I never tried to understand the meaning of life; if I want to find an answer, it might be the ""border"" - less. Because I can imagine whatever I want in my world. And in my world, everyone needs a better future.
Az'aad is the meaning of freedom. After spending 48 hours in their neighborhood, I didn't feel like a stranger. Because they lived in their social circle.
So who are the strangers?
Their language, signs, homes, habits, and Hello stranger.
