diving into lemonade days

 

love/hate summer diaries no. 6

these last few days in istanbul, i’ve been feeling that vaguely familiar feeling of fall — like wearing my favorite silken night cloak to bed, while feeling the coolness of a somewhat melancholic breeze. I think this week will be my last series of drawings for summer diaries.

above: the urge to dive headfirst into lemonade on hot summer days. summer hydration is just a substitute for a desire to immerse the entire body in water. this summer, I ate watermelon and drank homemade lemonade almost everyday — and it felt like such a simple luxury.
