Portraits shot in Ankara and İzmir on various occasions during the seventies. They tell a story of coming of age, a story of beauty, friendship and love. The decision to publish them was made 40 years later during the weeks of Gezi Park protests.
Omer Kursat has an incredibly sharp eye: his photographs create a narrative of their own—no words required. He paints a dreamy landscape that softly captures one of life's major passages: coming of age. His characters are distant but very much alive. In their eyes, you see dreams as they look at an uncertain world with hope and anticipation.
