"Rupture" is a poignant photographic series capturing the essence of a solo retreat on Büyükada, an island imbued with quiet mystery. Initially undertaken for personal reflection, the retreat evolved into an impromptu exploration through the lens of a 35mm black and white film camera. This series is an intimate documentation of the island's moody corners and a visual meditation on the silent forces that led me there.
In "Rupture", the interplay of shadow and light on Büyükada’s deserted paths and melancholic vistas becomes a metaphor for personal upheaval and introspection. The starkness of black and white film enhances the island's intrinsic stillness and timelessness, creating a haunting narrative that mirrors the inner landscape of solitude and self-reflection.
