They are agricultural workers who work on the bosom of Mesopotamia, where the history of mankind began. They have great effort from every bite we eat to every cardigan we wear. They are seasonal for some, temporary for some. They are the ones whose real rights can never be paid for their labor, even though they receive a small price for human existence.
They are always more understanding, more genial, and more gentle than most of us because this geography is a manifestation of the motto "We came from the soil, we will go to the soil" in terms of belief.
The main purpose to include them with the art of photography in this exhibition is that they show humanity what sweat and labor are without losing their smiles despite the difficult conditions they live in.
