entry description
"My Nature in Nature" is a self portrait series about the emotions I had from living on my own in a different country for the last 3 years of my life, which were both positive and negative at times. Being on my own in a different culture had positive effects on me like enjoying new places, getting a better understanding of my soul, overcoming the struggles of this new life. On the other hand, this situation brought negativity as well. Trying to survive in a different culture, trying to adapt myself to new places and to a new lifestyle were the prominent struggles I had to face. Through this series, I expressed all of these emotions in my photos.about the photographer
