Episode 1
Artwork Title: Not Yet Artist: Omer Izgec Medium: Staged Photograph
Text presented with the photograph:
Not Yet
Ragib left the house for the first time that night. His son Adem followed his sleepwalking father. Repeating “Not yet, not yet,” Ragib, eyes closed, headed toward the old well on the hill, but collapsed at the sound of Adem’s voice: Father.
Adem carried his sleeping father back home.
When Ragib woke up in the morning, Adem was sitting by his bedside. He looked at his mud-covered foot. Next to it was a violet; he reached out and took it. He had never spoken to Adem about the war, the well, his mother, the violets, his sister Nermin, or that night in July. As he looked at the flower, shadows crossed his face. He called out to a distant well, “Not yet,” he said, “not yet, Nermin.”
