Couch Grass is a plant that grows in any climate, even without water, and clings tightly to the soil even if it is roasted. There are also Couch Grass among humans. They cling tightly to life and continue to exist in a variety of environments despite various challenges. Sometimes they reject stereotyping and rebel against the normative rules of society. They are kept separate but still cling to life. While trying to get to know myself, I realized the state of being a Couch Grass that my sociopolitical knowledge and experiences brought with my individual awareness. As I met people I am not ashamed of to be with them, I turned towards opening a space where I could freely realize myself. Over time, we have had many common experiences with the people I have shared this space. We shared the most difficult moments, produced common slogans, shouted, tried to overcome the fears that were injected into us. As a result, we learned to strengthen , to resist, to be like Couch Grass together. My aim was photographing people in their personal spaces who are subjected to psychological and physical violence on the street, family and workplaces due to the binary gender system. So I was able to touch their existential reality by reaching their essence. Regardless, my admiration for their empowerment and their ability to sprout has focused me on this and prompted me to show the story of my "later-earned family" as Goldin said when describing the people she photographed. I understood that being a Couch Grass does not mean leaving the joy of life, but holding on to the land and life.
