A wonderfully defiant series by photographer Alp Peker from Turkey. As he declares: “I reject the standardized beauty. I reject the classical sense of pain. I reject the correct form of family and relationships. I reject to see genders. I reject well put happiness. I reject having fun the way I should have. I reject humanity if humanity is so specifically standardized, stock stereotyped.”
