Kariye Cross
The Turkish Collection would not be complete without a cross, so
I designed a simple cross, Kariye, named after the Kariye Camii in
Constantinople - originally a Byzantine Greek Orthodox church with
exceptional Christian frescoes. In the 16th century it became a
mosque and in 1945 it became a museum. It was converted in August
2020 back to a mosque. Through one small cross, its design tells of
holiness across the centuries.
