Alaçatı, Kept

“A small piece of Turkey with my mother.”

“My mother and I found this piece in a small shop in Alaçatı, after an afternoon spent drinking tea with its owner and talking about art and life. When I chose it, his face lit up—his daughter, an art student in New York, had made it.”

“Our driver wore a beautiful ring with the letter ‘A’ on it, he said it was the first letter of his daughter’s name”

“Lovers at sea”

“Skin art at the local bodega”
