Blue and gold, wolf pack, and the crossroads of the world

Today is the anniversary of Türkiye’s founding. Traveling in Istanbul, I've gained a deeper appreciation for the architecture and history. The figure is mainly inspired by my bf. To showcase cultural exchange, it featured a blend of Ottoman miniatures and European oil painting, incorporating patterns from Iznik tile, manuscript illumination and enamel craft.

The country is going through a hard time right now, I hope this can help cheer people and that things get better in the future <3

"held by pro-Kurdish fighters" sure is one way to say "governed by the will of the people through direct democracy, until the violent assault by the Syrian and Turkish states which is now repressing that democratic system and the people's autonomy" but okay! sure let's present things this way. say these regions were "under Kurdish rule" when that isn't how it works but sure!!!!!!!

no need to even mention that there's an official name for the government! just "former Kurdish controlled areas." anything to avoid lending any legitimacy to democratic socialism, or acknowledging the cultural genocide and ethnic cleansings going on. i just need everyone to be aware of how bullshit this is.
