Rocks and Fortresses: The Sailor
Thirteen double sided cards, 18.5 x 14.8cm
Commissioned by the Festival of Mediterranean Citizens, Catania, Sicily, 2022. Distributed throughout the city of Catania and posted worldwide.
Two Mediterranean journeys: one by land and one by sea.
A woman dedicates her life to walk the coastlines and confront every castle and watchtower she finds.
Beirut, Chania, Valletta, Almería.
The longer she studies them, they appear to change form, disintegrating before her eyes, returning to the rocks they came from.
A woman sets sail across the sea in the hope of finding her sailor.
Cairo, Tripoli, Catania, Tangier.
She checks every port, every ship, every gambling house and alleyway.
And yet her longing surpasses the quest for her lost love.
