Sade Kahra's photographs question the sur-reality of events and seek to detect the physical and mental characteristics of the human being. Photography, sensitive to light, allows her to experiment, to paint and write with this material and from this, to make up for the absence of light. In her photographs, Sade Kahra analyses the consequences and aims to visualise the state of mind, influenced by the space and the culture, of a well-defined territory.
