Hunting for Extravagance

On the way back from the first visit in Istanbul the baggage was full of colorful and extravagant ideas. It was a blast of traveling to such an inspiring and vibrant city—the start of an experimental and creative phase. “Hunting” for unique and special materials became mandatory during each travel, and anywhere I traveled on the world. It was the period of visiting all kind of flea markets to hunt for a new and unknown combinations.
