Marlene Waits

On a quiet island near Venice, 88-year-old Marlene travels to each day to San Servolo for the free Wi-Fi. She checks her emails for a message from the man who signs as Johnny Depp. She knows it might be a hoax. Still, the words are kind. They make her feel seen. She hasn't heard from him for weeks. Still, each morning she comes.

Esra Belgin has been drawn to photography for as long as she can remember. She believes deeply in the power of photography to observe, connect, and reveal what often goes unseen. Her main interest is street photography and documentary photography.
