One of the main themes of the project is pause and the aesthetics of emptiness. This photographic study captures subtle yet profound changes in my country. In a seaside city, the sea shapes its identity with colors, light, and rhythm, making it open to the world but vulnerable to missiles that have hit us for over two years. Abstract photographs with splashes of contemporary color document the creativity of city workers who erase obscene graffiti. The project explores space, time, and people, capturing adaptation, resilience, and the acceptance of change in a country at war.
