This black-and-white digital print, inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem Four Quartets, depicts an unending cycle of life, death, decay, and regeneration. In a fantastic landscape of ruined temples in a jungle, writhing male and female figures struggle to arise. Their bodies, like anatomical models, are cut open to reveal the roots that intertwine with their organs. Matter and spirit are locked together in an eternal embrace.
