BREAD + COFFEE + POMEGRANATE + AEGEAN BLUE

BREAD: The first thing that comes to my mind is YEAST. Yeast, an essence in my understanding. We all have it within us. It is in our hands how to multiply and share this essence. And when I inhale the smell of yeast, the feeling of happiness spreads throughout my body.

COFFEE: I am very fond of coffee in the morning. When I am alone, as soon as I wake up, the smell of coffee sometimes takes me on a journey in time and I wander into my childhood. Sometimes I lose myself in my dreams. When I am with my loved ones, the smell and taste of coffee suddenly puts me in the position of listening to the person in front of me. I listen calmly. It makes me feel good.

POMEGRANATE: I like all the shades of red. It is a juicy, grainy, surprising and a little challenging fruit to eat. It takes patience to pick the seeds out of the ball one by one. The word "patience" reminds me of the creation of a new design. In many cultures, the pomegranate is a symbol of fertility. To achieve this abundance it is important to be calm, planned and patient. If I am impatient and plunge a knife into the pomegranate, I will not be able to distribute the abundance to myself and those around me in the way I would like.

THE BLUE OF THE AEGEAN: I love the deep sense of security that the sea colour of the geography where I was born gives me. This is the colour I see when I leave the beach in my father's boat and jump into the sea. Saturated, dark navy blue. Even though it scared me a little bit, I would dive into this saturated, calming ground... As if I were diving into a dream.

 I wish you a healthy, happy and enjoyable year. 

Let's inspire each other...

Özlem
