A mesmerizing patch of faux-tile art found on a street in Istanbul, where intricate blue patterns dance around a bold red centerpiece. Though painted, it mimics the elegance of glazed ceramics with an almost hypnotic effect. Is it a nod to Istanbul’s grand mosques, or just a vibrant flex of street creativity? Either way, it stops you in your tracks.
