Let me tell you what has hurt and upset me the most. Throughout my life, I have been a relentless advocate for justice, rights, law, and ethical behavior. That’s why I became a lawyer. During my four years in NFT, @zachlipp and @sunnysangwan were the closest witnesses to the fact that I always spoke the truth, no matter the cost. And for that, I even had serious arguments with them when necessary. While I am known as an activist, an artist, and a lawyer—someone who would never hesitate to speak the truth even if it cost her everything—here, @jacek accused me of being a "farmer." That is something I just cannot accept.

The image captures a split-second scene from my visit to the village of Hörmetçi in Kayseri, Turkey, where I attempted to photograph the wild Yılkı horses. On that day, the farm owner, Uncle Ali, did not bring the horses to the usual open field for photographers. Although initially disappointed, I stayed alert, observing my surroundings for any unique moments to capture. When a farmhand struggled to catch a chosen horse from the herd amidst thick dust, I seized the chance and clicked the shutter just as the dust cleared for a magical instant.
This experience reminded me that even disappointing moments can hold extraordinary opportunities, if we’re open to embracing them
