When the Lake Begins to Withdraw

Seen from above, Yarışlı Lake reveals the visible consequences of a changing climate. As water levels retreat, mineral layers and algae blooms emerge, leaving behind abstract patterns that mark the lake’s slow transformation. These colors are not decorative—they are signals of imbalance, shaped by rising temperatures, evaporation, and fragile water cycles. Captured by drone, this series documents a quiet environmental shift, where nature redraws its boundaries in response to a warming world, long before the change is noticed from the ground.[]
