The content of this artwork is two of the cities that I have been a resident of. The signifiers are a few including the: Galata Tower (Icon, Index), World Trade Center (Icon, Index). Those two signifiers were my main emphasis because they are both original to their own environment. This artwork could be featured in a travel advertisement due to its diptych-like structure where both cities are intertwined to look like one. What I learned from this project was to combine suggestions with my own thoughts and reality. The questions proposed were really thought-provoking and I had to clinch on to the ideas or concepts that related to me but that were also a new field that I had not stepped into yet. The medium was supportive of my content because I had a lot of tools to work with. On the other hand it was not supportive in terms of content because I did not have much space to work with.
