Who would visit the grapevines? Who would fill the baskets?
Who would pick the grape leaves?
After us, will the stars descend, to play on the hills,
in the middle of the calm nights?
At our foothill in the "erzal,"
the branches of the trees are surrounding my secrets...
And the yard with the shadows is covered by a gentle beautiful scent...
Our land is here, and our stream. It is where we roamed,
and where we felt drunk with happiness
Its magic is ours, and our dreams, so if we left... and passed....
(and then the song repeats... as in, if we left and passed...

Erzal Is something that has no translation.
It is a very specific kind of a tree house, that is also used as a bed.

Tuareg Talisman
The Tuareg people are about 2 million semi-nomadic people who live across the Sahara Desert. Tuaregs have been called the "blue people" for the indigo dye colored clothes they traditionally wear and which stains their skin. They even believe that they have blue blood running in their veins.
Also because they are superstitious and believe in the continuous presence of various spirits (djinns), most Tuareg men wear protective amulets that protect them from evil. Hence the pouch with a protective message in the art piece and it reads:
“May God protect you from all evil and wish you peace and prosperity.”
It's A New Day
The blue weaving with its wave- like patterns resembles Hokusai's print ‘The Wave’. The cranes in Eastern mythology are a symbol of peace and longevity. Repurposed wood resembles the cracking of dawn that allows the light, waves and birds to rise.
Blue Mountain
This paper collage piece has a secret. Behind the orange sun is a light that can be turned on as a night light. Resin reflects like water and preserved grass grace to bottom of the blue pool.
