Dozens of balloons were tied over the rubble of the Turkish city of Antakya, representing the last gift for the children killed in the February 6 earthquake that devastated the south of the European-Asian country.
"Three children died here. They were one and a half, four and six years old," said Öğün Sever Okur, designer of the project.
Eight days after the earthquake, Sever, almost forty years old, began to tie balloons to the ruins of the depopulated city of 400,000 inhabitants, where the noise of bulldozers and clouds of dust dominate all life.
The effect is amazing. The small, fragile globes contrast with the monochrome gray of the rubble mountain of what was once a recent nine-story beige building.
Authorities did not specify how many children were killed.
Derya Yanik, the Minister of the Family, reported that 1,314 of the 1,858 children discovered alone after the earthquake were handed over to relatives.
More than 42,000 people died in Turkey due to the earthquake on February 6, a figure that rises to 46,000 if those who died in Syria, a neighboring country, are added.
