My (unfinished) earthquake driven art therapy that I work on intermittently.  
(initial draft on 12th Feb here) 

In excess of 51,000 people have now lost their lives and whilst, three weeks on, as we say goodby to February, it's no longer part of regular UK news coverage,  back in Turkey the grief continues up close and personal as no one is left untouched.  

On 6 February 2023, at 04:17, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria. The epicenter was 32 km (20 mi) west–northwest of Gaziantep. The earthquake had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). It was followed by a Mw 7.7 earthquake at 13:24. Wikipedia
