Conversation with the wind II

About this collection

I entered the field of art with a Yashika Fx camera in 1998 when I was 17 years old. It was the beginning of my youth and I was full of passion to see and discover the world around me. With the same camera that I had, I traveled to different places and I tried to see the world differently from what it was through the vizor of the visor of my camera. I was trying to communicate with nature and over time everything found a unique personality for me and I found a special connection with all the elements in nature. Mountains and plains, landscapes and people, I could hear them all as I looked through the camera. I was fascinated by the character of single trees standing on the slopes of the mountains or in the middle of the plains. The loneliness of those trees in the middle of the great plains for me was a symbol of the loneliness of all of us humans in the vastness of this vast world. I would talk to those trees and sometimes I would sit under their shade for hours and take pictures of them. I thought that these trees only talk to the mountains and plains and seem to be close friends with the wind. When the wind blew and shook their leaves, I received something like a kind of conversation and caress that is going on between the tree and the wind. First, in 2009, in a series of short stories, I tried to express the experiences of a tree in the form of several short stories, and in 2013, I tried to show the dreams of a tree in the form of a series of photos. My familiarity with technology and coding gave me the possibility that in 2023 I could create a collection of portraits of lonely trees that stand in the middle of these plains in spring and each of them has a different conversation with the wind. My familiarity with technology and coding gave me the possibility that in 2023 I could create a collection of portraits of lonely trees that stand in the middle of these plains in spring and each of them has a different conversation with the wind. The series of Conversation with the wind is a part of these three parts, which complements the other two pieces. An attempt to portray a concept like loneliness. A concept that is a common human experience. Many times I see myself same as a tree in the middle of these plains, and if I could choose between being a human or another being, I would choose to be a tree, and I would have a conversation with the wind: the wind can travel and The tree is standing and can see well, the wind was talking about his travel experiences and the places he could see, and the tree was talking to the wind about his experiences of silence and loneliness.
