Izmir Clock Tower

•

This is an illustration I created especially for Be Izmir Illustration Contest (Turkey),

on the theme "Harmony with Differences". The subject of the competition was to use the silhouette of Izmir's Clock Tower, reflecting the harmony of culture in Izmir.

Izmir is a city renowned for its expansive bazaar, as well as its political history.

It's teeming with life, always crowded, or, as they say in Turkey, "kalabalık".

I went for Wimmelbuch style, playing with the negative space of the Tower instead of filling it. This approach helped me to create a busy looking image that captures the essence of Izmir.

This work was selected for an exhibition and received a money prize.
