Far Away From Homeland

As the Syrian refugee smokes his cigarette, the smoke carries with it the weight of his journey—a journey marked by displacement, uncertainty, and the yearning for a home left behind. The Golden Horn Bridge, a symbol of connection and passage, becomes more than a physical structure; it transforms into a bridge between past and present, between the homeland he left and the uncertain future he faces. The act of fishing, flavored by the quiet puffing of the cigarette, embodies a silent resilience, an assertion of normalcy amidst the complexities of seeking refuge. This scene at the Golden Horn Bridge serves as a poignant reminder that, even in the face of profound challenges, individuals find moments of quiet strength, creating a narrative of hope and perseverance amid the currents of change.
