Dedicated to SAeed

“Manolya” stands as a cherished symbol, hidden within the depths of every heart. Inspired by the Turkish classical melody "Benim Güzel Manolya'm" by Zeki Müren, this piece tells a story where a bird gracefully encircles a blooming magnolia, expressing love that transcends life and death in vibrant colors that words can only hope to convey.
