istanbul full moon, minimalist night
the feeling of night is like a silk shroud which makes this chaotic place feel softer; its sharp edges smoother, impressionistic. like seeing the world without my glasses and feeling safe inside the haze. a maximalist world can feel minimalist in my eyes.
i saw the full moon while i was sleeping last night, so bright it was blinding. then again, rising along the docks of karaköy.

the last time i watched the moon rise: on my 30th birthday in santorini.
