A Certain Amount Of Quiet

Back in April, At the highest pick of Covid-19 in New York, I had to come to the city to buy some groceries that I couldn’t buy anywhere else. When I passed the Midtown Tunnel I already knew, this is not the city that I was expected to see with full of people, noisy streets and energetic atmosphere. It was so calm, quiet and peaceful but sad. So many people lost their loved ones and everything stopped. The city was exhausted after all these years and only a power greater than human could give it this type of rest I think. Anyway, this is not a professional video or a project, I just captured the mood. I am sure humankind will start consuming again, even worser than before but one thing is obvious, Don’t mess with nature.

Moving Towards A New Normal

As a freelance Artist/Photographer, Covid-19 had a huge impact in my life and turned my living and career into a very tough position. I am sure the other freelancers in so many fields have the same state with different experiences. But in this tough time while everyone struggles to find a sustainability in their everyday life … I am hearing that people say:

" WHEN WE GET BACK TO NORMAL LIFE ? "

We dont get back to normal life, We dont get back to an ordinary life that we once knew. WE WILL MOVE TOWARDS A NEW NORMAL, A NEW ORDINARY, A NEW WAY OF CONNECTION, THOUGHTS, RESPONSIBILITY, MAKING, LIVING and etc. We need to change our life style, we should be more responsible. Covid-19 showed us how the world is so small. A one person can get sick in this part of the world and in just 10 hours of flight a new community will be in danger in just a day.

 And believe me I am writing this with heavy heart , Covid is an alarm to tell us what is the possible decision to thinking about spending our money?, Who we should look up to?, Who is important to follow and how you should support them. How we treat Mother EARTH, The Nature, The Animals, The Lands.

LOOK and look carefully, The people all around the world in these past years, supported so many garbage celebrities, undeserved and licentious athletes, actors, singers and … The list can go on and on.

WE SHOULD RECONSIDER THAT HOW WE CARE AND PAY A TEACHER, A WORKER, A JANITOR, A NURSE, A FARMER, DRIVER, ARTIST, ENGINEER, DOCTOR, JOURNALIST, CASHIER, RANGER, REPORTER, SCIENTIST AND THE LIST CONTINUES …

I am not here to tell you, how you should live, but I am here to warn you to be wise, to be responsible, to think twice about the world around you. We should wake up and ask again, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO FOR NOW AND FUTURE ?

DO NOT MAKE FOOLS RICH … DO NOT ELECT UNDESERVED INDIVIDUALS, THEY WONT HELP YOU WHEN YOU NEED THEM , THEY JUST PRAY FOR YOU IN THEIR MANSIONS …

SOLIDARITY IS NOT SPONTANEOUS, IT NEEDS A NEW CHALLENGE, A NEW SACRIFICE, A NEW STRENTGH, AND TRUST ME WE CAN GAIN IT BY MOVING TO A NEW NORMAL,

A NORMAL THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

STAY SAFE
