EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Murad Sezer captures the contrasting landscapes of Istanbul, Turkey. In this bustling metropolis, the skyscrapers of banks headquarters and popular shopping malls stand tall and proud, symbolizing the city's economic prowess and modernity. Their sleek glass facades reflect the vibrant energy that permeates through these commercial hubs. However, what makes this photograph truly remarkable is its composition juxtaposing these towering structures with two distinct elements: residential apartment blocks and Zincirlikuyu cemetery. These seemingly disparate features represent a stark contrast to the corporate world dominating the foreground. The presence of residential apartment blocks reminds us that amidst rapid urbanization, people still call this place home. It serves as a reminder that life continues beyond business hours; families create their own stories within these concrete walls. On the other hand, Zincirlikuyu cemetery adds an element of solemnity to the image. Its serene atmosphere stands in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle surrounding it. This juxtaposition prompts reflection on mortality amidst a fast-paced society focused on progress. Through his lens, Murad Sezer skillfully captures not only architectural marvels but also tells a story about Istanbul's complex identity—a city where commerce thrives alongside everyday life and where tradition coexists with modernity.
