During my visit to Istanbul, while I was roaming around I stumbled
upon a woman, who was wearing a Hijab, taking a photo of some view she found
worthy to be recorded. She was looking through a lens to see the world as
people who look at her look at a lens to see her. She may be a conservationist
and an anti-liberal but in the case that she is not, we have placed ourselves
before a lens, which places a prejudice within it. In my painting of Istanbul I
wanted to convey the role of the lens that we sometimes place when viewing
everything that is surrounding us. The camera is taking a photo of the blank
spot; thus the beholder of the camera is recording everything but the grandeur
of a beautiful city as Istanbul.
