{:en} There is a certain beauty in being alone. A quiet dinner at home, a solo workout, a walk through the city without anyone to rush you. These moments of chosen solitude can feel like a reset. A way to hear your own thoughts without the noise of other voices. They are not about loneliness, but about presence. About enjoying your own company. And yet somewhere between a peaceful Friday night spent reading and another weekend passed without a single real conversation, the line begins to blur.The truth is, solitude is not measured in hours but in intention. Cooking alone after a long day might be nourishing...

{:en} It was the 2001 new year I flew back from Canada to Turkey for Christmas break and we as a tradition of my family, we decided to celebrate the New Year in London. You see we are a very secular family therefore we didn’t celebrate any of the holidays most families did around us. Most of them were like obligations of fake family dinners where everybody smiled at each other’s faces but talked behind their back. I did have a very fake family; I think that is another story for another day. Today it is all about how I ended up in London and what is next. Some...

{:en} Hello from Turkey Bonjour from Istanbul Hallo from Beyoglu Ciao from Galata Tower Merhaba from Hagia Sofia Do you know what the first step that carries a call for peace in all languages, turns all the bad thoughts in our souls upside down, brings the dialogue on the same color, destroys distances, and brings people closer together? It’s a warm “hello”. I wanted to start my first article in “ArtTmodernmiami Newspaper” with these sincere feelings. Although there are many reasons to explain when I was asked what writing means to you or why you are writing, a short “memoir” for me is the best answer to this question. I want to talk about...

{:en} “Youth is wasted on the young.” – George Bernard Shaw Is youth really wasted on the young? Or do we, as we grow older, begin to speak to the young with a tone that carries a hint of complaint, a sigh beneath the surface? As if an unspoken sentence lingers in the background: “We struggled… now it’s your turn.” Or that familiar refrain: “You’ll understand when you’re our age… though by then, it will be too late.” this phrase is not really about the young at all, but about life’s peculiar sense of timing. The one thing that, once gone, is truly gone: time itself. The...

We have a great deal to be grateful for, just like everyone else. After a prolonged period of preparation, we are now with you. For a while, you know how I felt? I went back to my childhood. Is it how? The days I first...

{:en} A match is found, a conversation begins and suddenly two strangers find themselves exchanging words that might lead to something or nothing. The process is simple. Dating apps have become a natural part of life. Whether used in search of love, marriage or even new friendships, they now shape how many people connect with others. Besides that, connection there comes a psychological impact that happens without being noticed. The moment a match is made, a subtle mental mechanism is activated. The small rush that follows can feel validating. Attention from others especially when it comes in rapid succession often leads to repeated checking of the app,...

{:en} Hello dear friends, in this 8th article, I said that I will talk about the sources of my pictures. When I say source, I will talk about this land where I live, breathe and make me who I am. Because in these places where I feed, I get my strength from civilizations that have come for thousands of years. Do you know, 37 of the 58 cultures in the world are in these lands, in Anatolia, in Turkey? With such wealth, I do not have a shortage of resources. Wherever I turn my hand, wherever I look, I always find something when I turn my head. I...
