A DAY IN BODRUM with Dilan Çiçek Deniz and Marcin Ziółko Following his own travels in Bodrum, our friend and artist Conor McCreedy pens a special poem, handwritten in his signature blue pigment, an ode to the Turkish coasts. His monochromatic blue language aligns so perfectly with the palette of the Mediterranean. Conor’s fascination and passion for blue are dualistic: he is both calmed by it and drawn to the storm that is inherent within. It’s a true ESCAPE hue, a blue to dive into, to get lost in, and to dream amongst. Our Bodrum diary continues with this year’s ESCAPE ambassador, cover star, and contributor, Dilan Çiçek Deniz. An actress, model, and poet, Dilan is the ultimate ESCAPE woman. Creative, carefree, and curious, she perfectly captures the energy of this season. In our special Bodrum issue, she also contributes her own words inspired by these ancient, sacred, and very layered lands. Together with photographer Marcin Ziółko and the ‘74Escape and ‘74Studio teams, we spent an unforgettable day with Dilan discovering hidden gems of the Riviera.
