EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported to the heart of Anatolia, Turkey. The image showcases a slice of traditional rural life, capturing the essence of time-honored customs and culinary traditions. A documentary-style approach allows us to witness an intimate moment in the daily routine of an old woman. Standing by a window in a dimly lit room, the elderly lady is engrossed in her task - drying Anatolian Pasta (Erişte). With weathered hands and unwavering focus, she meticulously arranges thin strips of pasta on large trays for them to dry naturally. This age-old technique preserves flavors that have been passed down through generations. The low-key lighting adds depth and drama to the scene, casting intriguing shadows across her face as she gazes out into the countryside beyond. The contrast between light and dark accentuates every wrinkle on her weather-beaten skin, telling stories of resilience and wisdom. As we observe this humble yet profound moment frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when homemade delicacies were crafted with love and care. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that tradition is not lost; it lives on through dedicated individuals like this old lady who continue to honor their cultural heritage against modernity's tide. With its evocative composition and rich narrative quality, Niyazi Gürgen's print captures both our imagination and our hearts – transporting us to distant lands where authenticity reigns supreme.
