On February 20, 2023, Türkiye experienced the second biggest earthquake in its recent history. The earthquake destroyed a significant area in the eastern and southeastern regions of Turkey, while impacting and shaking  the lives and livelihood of the whole country. These photographs do not seek drama. They remain close to what is there. Collapsed structures, fractured surfaces, objects left in place—each frame holds a quiet record of interruption. There are no definitive moments here. Only traces: of lives paused, of spaces emptied, of time unsettled. The camera does not intervene. It stays, observes, and carries what cannot be fully understood, maybe only felt deeply.

These images are not about the event itself, but about what remains after it.
