  • Andrei Furnea5 Andrei Furnea Romania Istanbul — Mosaic of Dreams Inspired by the work of Ara Güler and Alex Webb among others, I decided to take a ten day photo-trip to explore Istanbul with my own eyes. I was deeply touched by the dynamic of the streets and the kindness of humans as well as how the chaotic visual elements have a tendency to arrange themselves gracefully in front of the spectator. It’s like you are watching life’s greatest show —happening just for you. The city of Istanbul is a living canvas of history and culture, dazzling with vibrant diversity. The city’s palette doesn’t just contain joy; it also carries the shadows of history. The old city’s alleyways whisper tales of trials endured. Yet, amidst these layers, the town thrives. A testament to resilience. Istanbul isn’t merely a city; it’s an ever-evolving masterpiece of colors and stories; a reflection of the human spirit.
