Çağrı Tanyeli Özruh’a Ağıt

56 yıl önce bugün doğdu,
ritim daha o anda vardı kalbinde.

Kendi sınırlarını yeni tanıyan bir kızken
anne oldu,
on beş yaşında, kırılgan ama ölçüsüz bir cesaretle.
Hayat erken sordu.
O, cevap verdi.

Sanatçılar gibi aradı aşkı,
eli açık, umutlu, defalarca.
Bazı hikâyeler kaldı.
Bazıları kalmadı.
Hiçbiri boşa değildi.

Sanatının doruğundayken,
ikinci oğlunu kalbinin altında taşırken,
okyanusları geçti.
Otuz yaşında. Hamile.
Bir hayatı geride bırakıp
bir diğerine başladı,
Avustralya onu bir yabancı gibi değil,
bir huzur yeri olarak karşıladı.

Her zaman buraya geri döndü.
Çünkü bazı topraklar sadece barındırmaz,
seni sakinleştirir.
Nefes aldırır.

O sadece dans etmedi.
Duyguyu harekete çevirdi.
Sanatı bedene taşıdı,
disiplini zarafete,
gücü yumuşaklığa dönüştürdü.

Başkaları geleneği izlerken,
o genişletti.
Başkaları sahne alırken,
o hissetti.

Yoğun yaşayan bir kadındı.
Derin seven.
Hayat nazik olmadığında bile
güzellik yaratan.

Bugün yaşadığı yılları saymıyoruz.
Dokunduğu hayatları sayıyoruz.

İyi ki doğdun anne.
Ritmin hâlâ burada.
Sanatın yaşıyor.
Ve huzur bulduğun her yerde,
biz de seni buluyoruz.

I don’t remember the exact day this photo was taken but I remember the feeling.
The sun was softer then. My feet were smaller. And the world still felt safe, held together by the hands of the woman behind me.

I didn’t yet know what love would cost, what grief would teach, or how life could bend and break the strongest parts of me.
But I know now.

And as I enter this next chapter, a new age, a quieter wisdom, I look at this boy with love.

He didn’t know what was coming. The loss. The lessons. The beautiful moments stitched in between the pain.
He only knew trust. And warmth. And the arms that would always be there.

This year is different.
It’s my first birthday without my mum.

But somehow, she’s still here. In my breath. In my choices. In the way I show up for others.

Here’s to the boy I was.
To the man I am.
To the things I’ve lost and the strength I found because of them.
And to what’s still waiting for me somewhere on the road ahead.

Bu fotoğrafın tam olarak ne zaman çekildiğini hatırlamıyorum ama hissettiğim duyguyu hatırlıyorum.
O zamanlar güneş daha yumuşaktı. Ayaklarım küçüktü. Ve dünya hâlâ güvendeydi, arkamdaki kadının elleriyle bir arada tutuluyordu.

Aşkın neye mal olacağını, yasın neler öğreteceğini ya da hayatın en güçlü yanlarımı nasıl eğip bükebileceğini henüz bilmiyordum.
Ama artık biliyorum.

Ve bu yeni bölüme, yeni bir yaşa, daha sessiz bir bilgelikle girerken bu küçük çocuğa sevgiyle bakıyorum.

O çocuk neler olacağını bilmiyordu. Kayıpları. Dersleri. Acıların arasına işlenmiş o güzel anları.
Sadece güvenmeyi biliyordu. Sıcaklığı. Ve her zaman orada olacak kucakları.

Bu yıl farklı.
Annem olmadan geçirdiğim ilk doğum günüm.

Ama bir şekilde hâlâ yanımda. Nefesimde. Seçimlerimde. Başkalarına nasıl destek olduğumda.

Bir zamanlar olduğum çocuğa
Şimdi olduğum adama
Kaybettiklerime ve onlar sayesinde bulduğum güce. A candid photo of a man and his mother sitting closely together on a rocky beach, both smiling gently at the camera.

Eleven years today.

This is my grandmother, Dolgan Sezer.

Many knew her as a singer in the 70s and actress during the golden era of Turkish Cinema across 17 movies.. To me, she’s part of the reason creativity has always felt like it’s runs through our family.

Like so many remarkable women of her generation, her own story was cut short. She became a mother to my mum at just 15 years old, carrying responsibilities most of us couldn’t imagine while still a child herself.

I often wonder what she might have become if life had given her more time, more freedom, or simply a different path.

I like to think that every creative risk I take, every idea I chase, and every story I tell carries a small piece of her with it.

Here’s to the artists who came before us, whose dreams echo through the generations.

I’m not trying to be perfect anymore.
I’m trying to be real, consistent… and dangerous with my time.

Life humbled me a few times.
Didn’t break me though.
Just sharpened the lens.

Still building. Just with better instincts now. taken in Sydney, Australia by @mr.taylan

Tarçın isn’t just a dog, he’s my mum’s gift, carrying her joy forward. He made her laugh, hopefully one day he will play with my kids, keeping three generations stitched together with one wagging tail. the family promotion nobody asked for but everybody needed. 🐶 by @mr.taylan

İlk Anneler Günü’m sensiz…

Annem… Hayatı boyunca kimse ona kolayını sunmadı. 15 yaşında anne oldu, başını sokacak bir çatısı bile yokken hem kendiyle hem hayatla savaştı. Sokaklardan sahnelere uzanan o yolculukta kimse onun nasıl bir mucize olduğunu tam anlamıyla göremedi belki, ama ben her gün şahidiydim.

Sektörde yıldız olmanın ötesinde, o bizim hayatımızın güneşiydi.
İki evladını dimdik büyüttü. Ne zorlukta pes etti, ne sevgisinden ödün verdi.
Yoruldu ama yıkılmadı. Gözyaşlarını gizleyip bize hep umut oldu.

İçinde taşıdığı güç, hayranlık uyandıracak kadar büyüktü. Hayatını baştan yazdı. Hiçbir şey vermemiş bir dünyaya, sevgiyle, çalışarak ve inatla kendi izini kazıdı.

17 Mart’ta fiziksel olarak ayrıldık ama o, her an benimle.
Onun sesi içimde konuşuyor, onun bakışı kararlarımda yankılanıyor.
Onun verdiği mücadele, benim pusulam.

Bugün Anneler Günü.
Ve ben, bu hayatta sahip olduğum en büyük onurun onun evladı olmak olduğunu bilerek yaşıyorum.
Seni özlüyorum ilk kokum..

My first Mother’s Day without her.
And just writing that sentence still hurts.

My mum never had an easy path. She became a mother at 15, fought through homelessness, and faced life head-on when most would have given up. From the streets to stages, from pain to power — her journey was nothing short of extraordinary.

She wasn’t just a star in the entertainment world — she was the sun in our lives.
She raised two children with strength, grace, and unwavering love.
She never crumbled, even when the world tried to break her.

She rebuilt her life from nothing, carved her name into a world that never handed her anything.
And she did it with grit, humour, and a fierce, motherly heart that gave more than it ever received.

On March 17, she left us physically. But she’s with me every day.
Her voice guides me. Her strength grounds me. Her story fuels me.

Today, on Mother’s Day, I honour the woman who taught me everything I know about love, resilience, and becoming more than what life hands you.

Being her child will always be my greatest pride. taken in Bondi Beach by @mr.taylan

Incredibly grateful for the beautiful people I have in my life who, within a short notice, rocked up to catch up with me during the only few weeks that’s I’m back in Sydney for. Thank you 🙏 taken in Sydney, Australia by @mr.taylan
