About This Work

A house in Zagora sits low against the hillside, its ochre walls taking the late morning sun squarely.

There’s a deep stillness here, a warmth that settles over everything. The house holds its place, its earthy whites and terracotta answering the muted greens of the distant hills. A low path leads the eye gently in. The paint itself feels dry, giving the walls and the tiled roof their weathered grain. Light falls softly from above, casting gentle shadows under the eaves—nothing harsh, nothing theatrical. There are no people. Just stone belonging to the ground. A slow, settled silence rests over the hillside, the kind that belongs to warm afternoons.
