ISTANBUL, Turkey
BLUE MOSQUE at sunset
Istanbul has the flavour of Bursa’s juicy and smelly peaches that I used to eat at the beach….i was 7 !
my family (mom, dad, my sister and I) lived in that beautiful city for 5 years. Part of my childhood, an important part , i lived listening to the Muezzin call, eating Bureks (so tasty)…my first swim in the Black sea,
a strange river fish called ![]()
KalKan (button fish) that my mom use to prepare…my first birthday party with numbered gifts for all my friends (tombola), the big Souk and the marvellous handcrafts in leather, carpets…
I am coming back ! after so many years to give two oral presentations in the Pre Congress of Hemophilia Int. Congress….it’s great.
I’m too emotional maybe…but I am a woman who travelled so much, moved from country to another…a nomad. I honoured each country that marked me..and made me the way I am.
A collage, a patchwork.
