Photography 

The subject of love: it’s a universal concept. At the time when I started my research, was in desperate need of a story that would help reshape my perception of love in a modern world. When I began my search, many stories I encountered lacked sincerity and depth. I was searching for an out of this world pulsating energy. Then I met Pierre and Jiyeonne, a French-Korean couple who, once they met on a dating app on the 21st of August 2018, have not left each other’s sides since.

Turkish: untruthful, long and empty talk. 
Latin: word, speech.

Essentially, longing for longing. 
The transformation of conceptualisation of Love, from the loaded words of ghazals to today’s constantly shapeshifting meaning, perhaps removing what was longed for, emptying it, into a long empty talk, Palavra to Palavra.
