I love the holidays. The happiest and funniest of my childhood memories belong to the mornings of the feast. I remember when I was 9-10 years old in my pink dress, brand new patent leather shoes, and skirts flying up and down the stairs, trying to catch up with the holiday table, like today...
My first article in our newspaper ‘Arttmodernmiami’ coincided with an American holiday, "Thanksgiving Day". Now I would like to tell you about the “Candy Feast” celebration. Candy Feast mornings are special. After the 30-day fast, the breakfast table is very enticing… The hands of the elders are kissed, and the little ones are...

Hello, I’m Ru.I am an artist, curator, and creative production designer who thinks and works within the field of creative economies. My practice focuses on the invisible connections between art, cities, economics, and narrative. I approach creative production not merely as an aesthetic domain, but as an economic force capable of transforming life, urban structures, and value systems.Through this series of essays, I aim to explore how creative economies are built, how they grow, and, at times, whom they leave outside—by reading cities and case studies together. These texts are not written to provide definitive answers, but to ask the right questions collectively.

The area of interest of aromatherapy has been the treatment of diseases that may occur with soul-body-mind imbalance, conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and the idea that many diseases can be prevented by improving the immune system.
Fragrant oils such as lavender, jasmine, and lemongrass, which were used for their calming effects in ancient times, have been the subject of many studies to overcome the fear of the dentist. In dental treatments or operations on the jaws performed under local anesthesia, aromatic oils are used for patient anxiety.
Oral diseases that concern millions of people all over the world are mostly infections, aphthous ulcers, ulcers, lesions...

Ever feel like every day sounds and lights are just too much? The hum of the fridge, background chatter, or even bright overhead lighting can feel overwhelming—almost like your senses are on high alert.
For some people, this is not just a fleeting annoyance. It is a constant, exhausting battle with noise, brightness, or even certain fabrics feeling unbearable. It is not just “being sensitive” or “getting older.” Often, chronic inflammation is the root cause.
Inflammation does not just affect joints or digestion—it can deeply impact the nervous system, heightening your sensitivity to sensory input like sound, light, touch, and temperature. This is especially true in chronic conditions...

A Life on the Other Side of the World
By Melda Sherman — reporting from Boston
In this story, I’ll quite literally take you to the other side of the globe — to the Southern Hemisphere, to Sydney, Australia.
My guest, Buket Behçet Balaban, speaks candidly about not only what life is like in Sydney, but also how migration shapes a person’s outlook, resilience, and sense of belonging. This interview feels especially meaningful to me, as Buket is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds. I’d like to take this chance to thank her once again for our warm and heartfelt exchange.

A Bird Fell. I Kept Driving…
A big bird fell from the sky.
Yes, you heard that right.Now you might say,“Well, it wasn’t a dinosaur or an elephant. Hardly headline material.”Fair enough. Normally, a bird falling would sit comfortably in the “nature happens” folder.But this didn’t quite unfold normally.I was driving about 40 miles per hour in my 1999 Frontier pickup. Florida roads, the calm rhythm of an ordinary morning… And then this huge bird — and I mean huge — seemed to pick me specifically and descend from the sky.And by “descend,” I don’t mean some poetic...
