‘’FOR ME, ISTANBUL IS ALSO RED —RED LIKE THE POMEGRANATE, FULL AND ABUNDANT; LIKE THE INTRICATE EMBROIDERIES OF CARPETS, CARRYING STORIES THROUGH EVERY THREAD; LIKE THE DEEP COLOR OF THE FLAG, BOLD AND UNIGNORABLE. IT IS A STRIKING PRESENCE THAT IS CHALLENGING HISTORY TO REMEMBER IT. THIS COLLAGE BRINGS THOSE CONTRASTS TOGETHER, REVEALING THAT HISTORY.’’
