Public space is presented as open for everyone, but without a doubt, it has historically been shaped by male authority. Moving between shorelines, fences, religious traces, and abandoned structures, Unclaimed Ground examines how patriarchal power continues to shape who belongs, who is visible, and who remains at the margins. Therefore, in this series, women appear not as owners of these spaces, but as bodies forced to justify their presence within them. By bringing together signs of surveillance, exclusion, and belief, the photographs consider public space not as the so-called neutral environment, but as a contested terrain shaped by gender, religion, and discipline itself.
