TURKEY EARTHQUAKE

6th February 2023, two earthquakes of 7.8 and 7.5 on the Richter scale hit the southeast of Turkey and the northern of Syria followed by almost 11,000 aftershocks. Considered the largest disaster in modern Turkish history, more than 50,000 people died including thousands of Syrians who fled the war to start a new life just a few kilometers from their country. Thousands of buildings collapsed leaving nearly 2 million people homeless. In a country with high seismic risk, located at the intersection of three extremely active tectonic plates, the corruption of real estate developers and the Turkish government were the main causes of this disaster. In this project I tried to focus not necessarily on pain and disaster, but on perseverance and resurrection, unfortunately this region is extremely seismic, it's like a Phoenix, it dies cyclically but is born again, but on the way it takes many lives with it, lives that have already suffered too much. An earthquake is something natural, but the lives taken by it are not, most of them were due to human errors in construction and corruption.
