Istanbul
On top of a tower far away, I saw the beautiful city of Istanbul spread out before me. And then I looked down and saw the dedication of an urban farmer.
On the print you can inspect the dense forest she has created outside. While living in New York, I always felt huge pangs of longing when I saw an apartment with an outside space full of plants. The logistics of getting to this point in life astounded me. From acquiring such an apartment in the first place, then the purchasing and lugging of plants, soil, pots. And where did they winter? My god.
It’s clear that this magical being had been in this penthouse apartment forever. I see the pink hanger forgotten on the clothesline, the outdoor furniture cast aside, and the small pots of herbs precariously hanging out on the edge of her own palace. This family of green just taunts all the realtors and tourists, reminding us that they were here first.
