After I became a father for the second time in 2015, I started to devote less time to social documentary work.I started traveling less and spent more time with my kids. But perhaps more importantly, an increasingly chaotic environment began to form in my country.I couldn't even find a room to show my socio-political documentary works that I used to do.With increasing systematic censorship and possible self-censorship, I began to tell more personal stories. This series is a personal documentary.Over the years, perhaps characteristically, I began to describe what I felt with photographs. Noir for me can be described in these words: City,chaos,people,self,identity,disappearance,dreams and disappointments. Existence and mistakes.. like blacks ,whites in the middle of the city and forgotten grays… İt is a mood that I cannot forget no matter how much time has passed and that seems to reappear at any moment. Deep down, like me and others.. One big void and NOİR
