“The orange doesn't fall far from the tree” explores my evolved relationship to the city of Antalya, Turkey, where the orange is the state fruit and where we as a family spend our summers since I was born. It is a reflection of how I see the city and what made the city decisive to me over many summer visits to the city with its fluctuating dynamics and stable components that acted as a backdrop. Although deeply personal in nature, the images speak to wider notions of nostalgia and place.

It was just fitting to take these on a Yashica Autofocus Motor, which I found in the attic of our place in Antalya, and shot with the only available film in Antalya: Fujifilm C200.
