Peaceful
Tolerable
An Ottoman and Balkan heritage, stregthened with Ataturk's ideals and reforms.
Love of Ataturk, his reforms and ideals.
Love of Mevlana and his philosophy.
Believe that every difference and opposite can survive at once, in one. and to unite differences will create a powerful harmony from it. Trying to reflect this with my photography.

    Milletseven says:

    "I unerstand how passionate this young lady is about her heritage, history and country. As a Turk, there is an unbelievable welling of pride within your breast whenever the Crescent and Star is seen fluttering above. Only a Turk can understand.
    But her passion is tolerant and measured. Her love for all things are portrayed in her excellent view of the world through her lens."
