a short video composed of visuals that I’ve collected throughout the mystical city of Istanbul. the late Robin Williams talks about the importance of poetry in today’s society, quoting Walt Whitman. how it encapsulates the real beauty of this life. even if you find yourself stuck in a mundane day-to-day routine that feels meaningless.. mind-numbing and bleak. what makes this life have meaning - is you. your potential. your identity. that’s the allurement of it all.
so.. “what will your verse be?”
