Layers of completing and juxtaposed meanings

Istanbul, a crowded city with an abundance of imagery. Wherever we look,  layers arise with multiple, contradictory/completing meanings -  which I love to decipher. In this foto you see the huge advertisement billboard of the detergent brand "Ariel".  As "backdrop" serves the illuminated Yeni Camii (New Mosque). The whole "composition"  is situated on one of the most vivid junctions of Istanbul ; cars, trams, buses trying to make their way either to Eyup Sultan, along the Golden Horn. Or taking the right  over the Galatabridge up to the Taksim Square.
These layers can be read as a combination of ablution and  prayers - the "Ariel" detergent will help you, even with cold walter and in only one wash cycle.
