Remember, living under the same sky is a resistance.” —Nazim Hikmet What we call life is actually a resistance armor that we put on every morning. One day, a word, a painting, a moment reminds us of this truth like a slap. Taner Ceylan’s work “Boxer” is exactly such a reminder. A face covered in blood… but still standing.

{:en}I would like to start by wishing you all a healthy lifetime... Dear friends, you can't even imagine how excited I am. I have a pencil in my hand, I am sitting in my room on top of my notebook where I scribbled my last memories in high school. I skimmed through the pages...
