A Turtle in Ten Seconds

About this title

The Tigris and Euphrates rivers are in constant transformation in the context of the ongoing war in Kurdistan – both spatial and memorial. Elements submerge and emerge in relation to dam projects while an infant Mesopotamian soft-shelled turtle moves for ten seconds upside-down in a moment of water turbulence. The still images follow a desire to dilate and conceptualize an endangered species' lifespan.
