Disappointing Light is a collection of images from various cities and the spaces in between. These photographs are an emotional response to a state of real and psychological instability, of an unease ingrained in the fabric of contemporary Turkish society.
It conveys a sense of the collective experience of millions of people unsure of their future, merely surviving rather than living. Using the light in the land as a metaphor, this series draws attention to the disappointment felt in society, prompting us to reflect on whether the horizon of this land is shrouded in hope or uncertainty. In a place where even extraordinary events can be normalized, it raises questions about underlying inequalities.
