The images of this project were made in Greece, where one of the entrances to the Underworld is believed to be and the location of some of the passages of Homer’s Odyssey. In Greek Mythology the cavern is a place of origin and disappearance, of revelation and forgetfulness; the liminal space between life and death.

As wax melts before the gentle fire
darkly then the fading form
- ‘Stay!’, shouted, ‘Stay!’
A Flame

a mere murmur. Here suddenly seen
how his eyes close as soon as the voice sounds.
Should they happen to be open at the time.
So light as let be faintest light no longer perceived
than the time it takes the lid to fall.
Taste? The taste in his mouth? Long since dulled.
Touch? The thrist of the ground against his bones.
