In this project called Quarantine Days, I tried to photograph and document what happened in the virus epidemic that affected our country and the whole world with a different perspective. One of the unfamiliar precautions we experienced during the pandemic was the curfew. Another precaution taken immediately after these bans is to maintain social distance. In this project, I tried to photograph the measures taken on social distance. In these photographs I took serially, I focused on benches and police lanes, which are indispensable for the streets. Benches and some places were closed to access by lanes to prevent possible crowds and violation of low social distance rules.
