I live in Istanbul for 24 years. I’m a lawyer and a photographer. This was the window I used to see every day against my room, so only I was able to see it from this angle. Like I said, for 12 years, I saw it every day, we saw so many faces of each other.

During that time, I posted some of it’s pictures to the internet and in a way, it caught people’s attention. Publishers used two of them on book covers and one is showcased in an exhibition. One day, owners of the building decided to dismantle it, in order to build a new one. While the building was being dismantled, I managed to take a final picture.

    Wow... It’s interesting how people can get attached to inanimate objects they’ve never seen. Here I am getting emotional about a window. A really well done series!
