I am fortunate to have enjoyed visits to many ruins of the ancient world, Palmyra and Apamea in happier times, and other sites across the Middle East and Europe. Mighty pillars, porticoes and pediments have been my starting points for this series, but their solidity and power become fragmented, dissolved and ambiguous in the making and unmaking of the image, reflecting the physical ravages of time and history, and at another level of expression, the uncertainties and evolutions of today.
