This unique "other" world, untouched by time or place, reminds the viewer of the eternal dance of transformation and regeneration.

During the summer of one of her final years in Lausanne, however, her grandmother took her on a tour of Italy, where she first witnessed the work of Old Masters, an encounter that would ultimately inspire her life-long passion for art.
