Archiving is more than preservation—it is a way of life. Over the past thirteen years, I’ve lived across Europe, traveled through more than ten countries, and, at the same time, dug deeply into my own history, ethnic traditions, and cultural roots. Each journey—whether through rural Turkish kitchens, vibrant European cities, or forgotten artist’s sketches—has helped me uncover the invisible threads of cultural memory that bind us all.
These experiences have shown me that human existence is interconnected through shared heritage. Despite our geographical and ideological differences, our practices, beliefs, and creative impulses often mirror each other. Cultural evolution moves in parallel, shaped by unseen forces that transcend borders.
This work reflects my own encounters and the stories I’ve gathered along the way—a collection of prose that explores the unexpected links between gastronomy, literature, cinema, philosophy, and history. Through these narratives, I seek to illuminate the confluences that define us all, showing how, beneath all divisions, our stories remain intertwined.
