A MODEST WOMAN

This story comes from my journey to Istanbul, where I sought to understand what it means to be "hidden behind a dress." I tried to see beyond the fabric, to read the emotions in their eyes. At first, I hesitated to speak or take photos, fearing they might not welcome it. But to my surprise, I discovered warmth, openness, and joy. These women radiated kindness, beauty, and strength. I’d love to share with you what I observed and experienced.
