O. Tuğrul Altay

Departure

  Backpacks are ready. At last, the preparations for the climb are completed. A mountain higher than 8000 meters - the sixth highest mountain in the world. If you don’t have faith in reaching the summit, the sufferings ahead of you will be unbearable. You have to set your heart on your goal and have a strong willpower in order to meet the Turqouise Goddess.

 

  Bitter cold, little oxygen, minimum food and loads of weight on your back… There are no spectators because this is something done, experienced all on your own; to surpass yourself.

Accidents and death are by your side. You may be a part of a team but in reality you are alone…

 

  Countless steps give you the opportunity to travel to your inner world, realise how you spend your valuable time by fretting over unimportant issues. In the hostile environment, you become aware of your comfortable living standards left behind. 

24 carat gold, turqouise,

white marble and a tiny piece
