{:en} We left behind 365 days. We started to open brand new pages, to experience, to live. As we enter a new year, we always think about what happened in the year we left behind. What we are thinking is wrong, because last year as it is called, is "a year gone by". Whatever happened, it happened and it's over. We continue our lives with the teachings of each age, getting older every year. We are filled with hope for each new year that begins. I expect great experiences, ideas, and self-improvement from each new year and get excited. One of my resolutions this year is to “be...

{: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} The naive, sensitive, and privileged souls of ArtTModern Miami! Greetings. How are you? I am on a long vacation. I am in the Aegean. In the Aegean, the turquoise blue waters and the warming sun make you wish summer never ends. Today, while watching the sea and people on the beach, the summer of September took shape in my mind spontaneously. When I returned home, I started writing without a break. Namely; The people we think we are walking the same path together, actually accompany us only as far as they are going.” The problem that I and everyone around me have been emphasizing lately. Is it because of...

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...

{:en} Happy birthday, Virgos! ❤ With the Sun in Virgo this week, practicality, organization, and a focus on efficiency are at the forefront. With Mars also in Virgo, the theme of “dedicated attention to detail” is further emphasized. As Venus, the ruler of Leo, moves through the final phase of its retrograde, inner awareness regarding relationships becomes more pronounced. Additionally, the first vibrations of the upcoming Pisces Full Moon at the end of the month will begin to be felt from midweek: The search for a balance between the energy of “letting go of control – surrendering to the flow” and “establishing systems” is noteworthy. ♈ Aries Rising This week, you are experiencing strong...

{:en} Hello everyone, my beautiful readers… I had a full month of December, so much happened! I hardly have time to breathe, that's all, you guess the rest! Let me tell you, you decide: I'm starting from Miami Art Week and Miami & Basel Week. I was a participant at Red Dot as an artist within the scope of Art Week this year, but I experienced extra excitement this year. We also shot a film during Miami Art Week. How? I can almost hear what you say, so let me explain: Tugba Yazici - Nazan Aktan (Act Artistes Contemporains Turquie) Tugba Yazici – Ibrahim Guldiken – Nazan Aktan In the last days...

{:en} Yes, I am guilty. I know something. And I am brave enough not to confess what I know. Yes, I am brave. My essence will fill yours so completely that your soul will ache, your heart will sting— You will burn. Yes, I am afraid, still. If you cannot conquer your fear, you are human. And I am still human. But you—? At the wolves’ table, you lost the last trace of humanity within you. Then you wandered the nights too much and darkened as much as they did. You lay with vampires, rose with them. Yes, you drink blood. Sunny days are far from you. You have built a trap for yourself. And the hope it once gave is now a prison— Peace is gone, conscience is gone! Yes, I...
