Each photograph not only documents a moment, but also carries the thoughts, feelings and observations that accompany that moment. Through photography, the artist interprets a slice of life, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.
In this workshop, participants will explore the depth of a visual narrative through a photograph selected from the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition, while experiencing how to develop different perspectives, create meaning through visual elements and establish intellectual connections with an image. The workshop aims to see, not just to look; to go beyond the surface and realize the meanings hidden in the details. In this process, participants gain visual literacy knowledge and have the opportunity to analyze how art reflects individual and social stories.

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet.
Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.
A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
