Desert: I grew up in a desert city, where dust was unavoidable and the topography flat and silent. My visual memories are of light, openness and sand. The glowing horizontal landscape felt boundless and mysterious. I refer to the desert as a metaphor. It teaches me that to find understanding and beauty, one needs to be present, and wait. In time, our eyes learn to see through the flat surface and we come to realize its depth. There will be fine imprints of life and countless time lines, but at night the wind will erase all traces. And tomorrow is, again, a beginning.
