PAINTING - a journey through the world suspended between the recalled past and the foretold future.
TIME - the main character - stopped - exposes the innermost emotions of symbolic, but very real characters. He mixes scenes from the past with what may happen in a moment.
IMAGE - a closed set showing man's journey through all states of mind, body, spirit.
MEDITATION - entering the path of one's own life, looking into one's own destiny.
