"ROTTING FROM WITHIN" evokes Abdulhamid Kircher's feelings upon discovering his father's story: the realization of generational trauma among the patriarchs of his family and the need to reveal himself to the artist within this legacy. At seventeen, after reconnecting with his father, who had recently been released from prison for drug trafficking and attempted murder, Kircher took up photography, a personal endeavor that coincided with a reflection on his past. Born in Berlin and having fled to the United States at a very young age, the camera allowed him to gain greater intimacy with his father, his Turkish culture and heritage, while nurturing a deep relationship with the photographic medium and its possibilities.
