Fantastic Icon

The “Fantastic Icon” filter was made for the "What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!” exhibition at the Pera Museum. Filter inspired by the Byzantine Empress Theodora. Purple and yellow are the main colours; purple, also used in the mosaics of Ioustinianos and Theodora in the Byzantine Period, defines the dynasty; and yellow represents the colour of the sacred, gold. The arched structures and the ionic order of the Byzantine architecture, where the emblem of the Pera Museum also appears, are reflected by the Columns of Theodosius with drop motifs in Laleli today.
