Jean, you’ve really captured that liberating feeling of coming outside from the subterranean, noisy and claustrophobic depths of the underground. The two figures are almost mirrors of each other, rather like lion monuments by the gates! What a blue sky.

Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software.

And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.

Amazing and startling. Perfect interpretation of the theme. Can’t help wondering how you did it, caught it.
