old photos
Here, I took an old photo that was in the family album and tried to remember that day, but I couldn't recall anything. The photo was so blurry that the features of the people in it were not visible, and the place also seemed unfamiliar to me. So, I decided to start drawing and adding details in a series of nine paintings. In each painting, I experimented with different feelings and thoughts. My focus was as if I were looking at the photo for the first time, and each time my paintings appeared differently, with the atmosphere and people changing. Therefore, I consider my research to be ongoing, as I still have much to discover in this mysterious photo.
