Since last December, I’ve felt like a nomad, navigating the transition to our new life in America. I’ve been striving to remain true to myself amidst the constant change of homes and places. For me, home is within my own body, making it crucial to acclimate to the new environment and climate. While unexpected challenges have slowed the process, I believe that once I find comfort in one place, it will extend to others. So, I’m learning to go with the flow. These emotions will inevitably find their expression in my art which is a big relief to know. As I was writing these lines, the chorus of the song “Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi”, a duet between Ceza and Sezen Aksu, was on my tongue.

Gelsin, hayat bildiği gibi gelsin
İşimiz bu, yaşamak
Unuttum bildiğimi doğarken
Umudum ölmeden hatırlamak
Gelsin, hayat bildiği gibi gelsin
İşimiz bu, yaşamak
Unuttum bildiğimi doğarken
Umudum ölmeden hatırlamak
