“The Cage Door is Always Open”

Collage, marker and pencil on Japanese tissue paper, mounted on cardboard.

Painting from the series “The Sheltering Sky” based on the books by Paul Bowles.

“Immediately when you arrive in Sahara, for the first or the tenth time, you notice the stillness. An incredible, absolute silence prevails outside the towns; and within, even in busy places like the markets, there is a hushed quality in the air, as if the quiet were a conscious force which, resenting the intrusion of sound, minimizes and disperses sound straightaway”
