I fear the humanitarian implications of the impact of the climate crisis.

A young man has been accused of being a homosexual and thrown blindfolded off the roof of a multi-storied building.

The image is rotated through a mirroring of itself, side to side and top to bottom. A repeat pattern is created through its multiplication. Repetition and mirroring are used as signs of excess, inversion and display the contrast of multiplicity and singularity. These overlays build intricate geometric designs akin to the meditative patterns of Islamic design where variation points towards an encounter with the infinite.
