{:en} I’m Selina, writing from Vienna. From now on, I’ll be contributing monthly articles for ArtTmodernmiami. I’m pursuing my master’s degree in clinical psychology after completing my bachelor’s. I grew up with both Turkish and Austrian cultures, and this mix is a big part of who I am. Since starting my psychology journey, I’ve been fascinated by understanding the human mind. While psychology has always fascinated me, my internship in a psychiatric ward truly helped me understand the field's deeper challenges and the real impact it can have on people's lives. “So, why psychology?” My answer is simple. Helping others just feels natural, so psychology seemed like the perfect...

{:en} I woke up to the light today. Around me, there are gardens with all shades of purple, blue, yellow, and green. There are hundreds of birds chirping in the branches of the magnificent trees, the sound is like a piece of a nature documentary. A dog plays hide-and-seek with a city worker cleaning the port, having such fun it makes me smile. I am writing this article from Bodrum Bitez Mansion. There are hundreds of sailboats side by side in the harbor. A white cat is jumping from that boat to this boat. He is fed up with fish, he is looking for a game, as...

{:en} A Bird Fell. I Kept Driving… A big bird fell from the sky. Yes, you heard that right.Now you might say,“Well, it wasn’t a dinosaur or an elephant. Hardly headline material.”Fair enough. Normally, a bird falling would sit comfortably in the “nature happens” folder.But this didn’t quite unfold normally.I was driving about 40 miles per hour in my 1999 Frontier pickup. Florida roads, the calm rhythm of an ordinary morning… And then this huge bird — and I mean huge — seemed to pick me specifically and descend from the sky.And by “descend,” I don’t mean some poetic...

{:en} What Is the Sky Telling Us? Prepared by ArtTmodernmiami Gazette June 25 – July 5: A Time of Deep Emotions and New Beginnings This week, the universe isn’t asking us to move faster—it is asking us to become more aware. With Cancer season in full swing, themes of home, family, belonging, and emotional security take center stage. At the same time, we’re entering a period that calls for bold decisions about the future. The message of this cycle is clear: You cannot build something new without first letting go of the old. For some, this means a new career…  For others, a new relationship… And for many, it’s finally time to say...

{:en} This earth is dark, Your eyes are dark, I look off into the distance, To the mountains, to the plains, No matter how green they are, You always emerge from beneath, Like your coal-black eyes, Dark, dark, dark... One day it will cover me, I will wrap myself in it, My heart will find peace, I think this life of mine will end, But it will stubbornly begin again, With the sunrise every day... I am exiled to you, Don't think I've been free since you left, I may seem to wander from land to land, But deep down I crawl, dragged through the dirt...
