EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Umit Bektas, the shadows of Turkish soldiers are seen cast upon a wall as they patiently await the start of a ceremony at the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The solemn occasion marks the 70th anniversary of his passing in Ankara on November 10,2008. This image encapsulates both reverence and contemplation as it offers a glimpse into Turkey's ongoing struggle to grapple with Ataturk's enduring legacy. As the founder of modern Turkey, Ataturk is revered for his role in establishing a secularist republic from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. However, this new film portrayal challenges conventional narratives surrounding him. The photograph captures an atmosphere shrouded in uncertainty and introspection. The soldiers' elongated shadows symbolize not only their physical presence but also serve as metaphors for doubts that plagued Ataturk during his life. It humanizes him beyond his iconic status, depicting him as a lonely figure burdened by personal struggles. Turkey remains deeply connected to its past while simultaneously navigating its future trajectory. This image serves as a reminder that even historical figures like Ataturk are subject to reinterpretation and reevaluation over time. Umit Bektas skillfully captures this momentous event through his lens, providing viewers with an evocative snapshot that invites reflection on history, identity, and collective memory within Turkish society.
