*Beat* / Compliment8 (Yenik / İltifat8) Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

It took me an hour and a half with two bus rides to witness this event. It was overwhelming, inspiring and incredible. In Turkish culture, Yağlı Güreş (Oil Wrestling) represents the epitome of a man's strength. They have to keep wrestling throughout the day, so they must be strong. They wrestle for hours, sometimes under direct sunlight. This time, the field was covered with a large Turkish flag, providing some shade and a cooling breeze. To me; their resilience, the ability to maintain such performance is a compliment to The Man. These photographs are meant to compliment them in return.
