Sleeping Beauties

Ayse is yearning to escape from her family home in pursuit of freedom. She’s living under the oppressive regime of a patriarchal society, dominated by her mother who wishes to her to live a traditionally feminine life.

Ayse beautifully demonstrates a soul lost in between two worlds; one tied to family values and the home, and one with an immense desire to break free and find independence in newly-found lands.
