Green Sea

“Green Sea” is the name given by villagers to the crop fields, as there is no actual sea in Yesilova. The nearest seaside is a 2-3 hour drive away. You can say this is Thing, but for a common Yesilova resident, this is almost as far as America. A little of this has to do with the poverty itself, and the rest is because they have to spend their summers working in the fields. Summers have no holidays, almost every day you have to work… This is why there is only one sea for them, and that is the green sea. Green sea is not just the name of the fields, its life itself. It is what ties us, which keeps us away from our dreams and expectations. On one hand, we want to get rid of it but on the other, we cannot let go of it. It is like love. It is both the scar and the ointment.
