Navigating the complexity of identity in a world filled with hollow promises. Exploring themes of disillusionment and frustration with societal constructs surrounding education. The emptiness of formal qualifications that promised fulfillment, often lead to meaningless jobs. Institutions with arbitrary rankings, perpetuated false hope, while milking the anchor babies & international student dollars.

Exploring Dualities:
~ degrees: references both temperature and educational qualifications.
~ yüzde yüz: plays on the dual meanings of «one hundred percent» referencing both ranking systems and the act of swimming.
