The concepts of borders, forced migration, and homelessness constitute the main theme of the Project.
Edward Said describes the century as the "age of mass migration" in his "Spirit of Winter". Nowadays, we live within borders and geographies that can change every year, maybe every month. For example, the anti-regime demonstrations that started as a peaceful people's movement in Syria in 2011, turned into a brutal civil war in a short time with the harsh intervention of the regime, causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose their lives and a large part of the population to migrate out of the country. For this reason, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have become refugees with this crisis.
The negative effects of global migration have profound effects on individuals and societies. This flow of human population, which increases rapidly from East to West from North to South, and to all regions where there is democracy and welfare, naturally causes the deterioration of social balances.
This study proposed for came about as a result of my visits to refugee camps where Syrian refugees live. The human landscape and challenges related to their everyday life which I came across in Nizip camp located in the southern part of Turkey has been a source of inspiration in these visits. Surrounded by wire fences, the camp looks like an extremely emotional environment and the wire fences have almost become a part of their lives.
