I spend much of my time in İstanbul's Nişantaşı and Maçka neighbourhoods,

where my gallery is located. On my way to and from work,

I often cross paths with the vibrant people who bring life to the streets.

Some I greet in passing, others I chat with while shopping from them.

 

One day, I asked if they'd wear a piece from my 'Remains collection'. What followed

were small, joyful moments-unexpected, genuine and full of warmth.

 

I thought it would be lovely to introduce you to these familiar faces-wearing my brooches

and neckpieces in the spirit of the streets where we meet.
