Hasan Kaya

Hasan Kaya has been flying his crop duster above Trabzon's hazelnut and tea fields for decades, counting every step he's ever taken. Raised in the terraces high above the Black Sea, he's learned to rely on the rhythms of the land and air. His evenings are spent tinkering with his plane while pondering small, almost invisible shifts—like the way his wool blanket seems to become heavier with the humid night air.
