Galata Bridge, 2025
The project focuses on the iconic fishermen of the Galata Bridge in Istanbul, reimagining their daily rituals in ab- stract forms and transforming familiar scenes into ethereal, dreamlike compositions.
Fishermen, rendered in silhouette against the expanse of the sky, serve as a poignant embodiment of two distinct yet intertwined elements. On the one hand, they represent the unwavering resilience of time-honored traditions, which have withstood the test of centuries and continue to res- onate in the collective consciousness. On the other hand, these fishermen are also a vivid representation of the per- petual flux and dynamism characteristic of urban environ- ments, where the rhythms of daily life are in constant, rapid transition. Through the capture of their gestures, shadows, and movements, the project distills these fleeting moments into evocative cyan-blue tones.
