BUDDHA WAS BORN HERE

Deep reds and bright yellows punctuate Olgaç Bozalp’s photographic journey through the landscape of Nepal in his meditation on the present moment.

This collection of curious abstractions and quiet documentations is a photographic diary of Olgaç Bozalp’s journey of self-discovery on his travels across Nepal. Responding to the country’s people and their Buddhist beliefs, he reflects on his place in the world, the importance of the present moment and the natural world around him through the lens. The photographer’s debut self-published zine is art-directed by Jessica Pichet and mirrors the vibrancy of Nepal’s rich culture. Each copy comes with a vintage Nepalese postage stamp on its slipcase. ◉
