[Propriété non datée]
- They featured formations of ghostly human shapes against dark backgrounds and a limited colour scheme involving a kind of dry earth touch
- The figures gazed serenely into hollow emptiness, completely absorbed, looking at and through me, as if trying to remind me, through their weird, perfect silence, of what I had failed to see' - Ibrahim El Salahi
