Turkish Prostheses Study


While in Turkey, for some reason the condition of prosthesis lingered in the back of my mind. It was suggested that I delve more into this condition of prosthesis and choose an
architectural example to study.

I had immediately chosen the place
of study and fortunately it was conveniently located near the hostel.

I took pictures of the building...
and then I caught myself in the act of my own prosthesis...
taking a picture for visual memory and planning to study it only later when I had time... But the funny thing is, I had all the time in the world to sit there and study it then! Where else was I going? It was a thought catching moment of delusion that I thought I had to take a picture of it to remind me of it later.

... so I let go of the shutter release b
utton on my new camera and felt a slight relief of freedom.
Sitting there, drawing and questioning my movements made me delve into a completely different perspective on my search in the research... at that moment there was a slight relief that the story that may have begun with death was now beginning to take a turn for something other... something more optimistic in the story... Now what may have seemed like a story of tragedy, is now a story of oo something other...
