I had a nomadic childhood, we moved often and I found myself in a frequent loop of adapting then relocating. No matter what, though, we came back to this town in Turkiye every summer and spent extended time here. It’s changed very little in my lifetime: same people, same food, same beaches. Only now do I realise that I found great comfort in this town’s constancy. A lot of who I am comes from the security I've felt in my time spent here. These images are excerpts of my love letter to the place that raised me. Photos taken over the course of two months on Olympus 35RC.
