An ensemble built with sand, wood, marble, natural stone, paraffin, water and poppy seeds, whose arrangement can be appreciated as a landscape seen from two opposite balconies at either end of the space.
This work, a tribute to Middle Eastern poets and musicians, was made on the eve of the first Gulf War. It creates a kind of landscape that brings to mind two images that, in a certain sense, are superimposed one on the other: a sea strewn with white volcanoes – conical mountains – and a group of whirling dervishes, their large white skirts continuously rotating around their own axis, creating white cones in space. The landscape is interrupted on both ends of the space by a rock and by its replica in paraffin with a footprint sculpted in the upper part. The print in the original rock contains water and beside it a jar, and in the case of the replica poppy seeds.
