an island within the island

2022–2024

A lone cow standing on a low dune under a heavy sky.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t believe in it. If someone needs it, then they believe in it.

A clay figure hanging from a workshop shelf.
A hand holding a small bundle of wrapped leaves.
A cairn of dark stones in an open field.

But it’s not magic. I thought about it. It’s just a matter of using your head.

A black cow walking toward the camera.
Two figures standing on a small island in a pale sea.
Someone in white walking across stone pavement.
A praying mantis on a rough wall.
Piglets pressed against their mother.

And if it doesn’t do you any good, it still doesn’t do you any harm.

Torn religious tapestries on a white wall.
A shrine corner with prints, a marble slab, and a broken madonna.
A pine heavy with cones against a pale sky.

Sometimes trees dry up with fruit still on them. Someone has passed by and said: what beautiful fruit.

An old cork oak, trunk twisted.
Iron rungs set into a rock face.
An old hand holding a small bowl.
Two white dogs running through an olive grove.

We are an island within the island.
