Further development of the project will look at ways to go deeper into these investigations of moments of life on the islands, memories, imagined memory, struggles to stay, the devastation of leaving, the reality of living in isolation.
This is not just a project consisting of paintings of islands, it also focuses on island people, their stories, the voices of current and past inhabitants, folklore, songs, poems and traditions.
