"Nothing is to come, and nothing past: But an eternal "now", does always last."
James Joyce

The sun tells a different story every moment with its own cycle on the wall it touches. The wall goes beyond being a physical boundary and becomes a mind map that reveals the interactions of time and culture.

Trapped between the heavy masses of Süleymaniye Mosque and the Manifaturacılar Bazaar, the neighborhood has a unique story. The story we read from the streets, people, houses and walls; more everyday and more modest. And most of the time, we read stories in their own reality, not in the object itself, but in its shadow.
