Seagull Car

Concept
Seagulls have become synonymous with beautiful city of Istanbul and these gulls are the inspiration for design of my car. The car soars across the sky by the power of thoughts and emotions. The tulip, another well known symbol of Istanbul and Turkey, that sits on the top of the car is a multi-functioning antenna absorbing the sounds, smells & movement of outside world. It uses the information it is gathering to help guide the car. Richard Bach's "Seagull" Jonathan Livingstone also inspired me to choose the seagull as main character. In my picture Hazerfan Celebi's first flight test from Galata tower represents the symbol of courage, resistance and hope.
