I first created these images in Midjourney on September 28, 2024. On the same date in 2025, I shared edited versions on Instagram. I’ll be posting the 2026 edition again on September 28.

This is Foça, Çanak Holiday Village—the summer community where our family house is located.

Ever since I started my academic career, I’ve spent almost every summer here, mostly writing my thesis and working on research. I mean, it’s a place where I spent unecessarily too much time.
