The full title: Still Life of Phoenixes (Alive and Well)

…This Astrofocus® has a long history…

“I love desert, this endless silence of Wild Desert Storm and infinite space. Chasing a car through dunams , sink into the sad and free it with local children.  After returning from desert I feel like a newborn…”

The book on the Astrofocus® is from a pilgrimage town of Mauritania Chinguetti. It lies in the middle of the desert on the former caravan route across the Sahara Desert and is sinking in the sand. The town was once a pearl of Africa, and this book is one of the most valuable treasures from the local “library”. Hundreds of years old jewel would get appropriate attention in the museum where it belongs but here it is happy for the care of a local self/effacing teacher, whose hand is showing us the most precious spiritual passage in the book. The fingers of the most powerful people of the Sahara were flipped the same pages in the past, the fingers of those people who I read about like a boy in the novels.

Satisfied with the photos I gave model a piece of advice:

“You can get by with a nice body for a few years but after you’re thirty you will need a personality.”

She said: “Hmm.”

Soon I heard that she gave up modeling and started travelling and studying books.

I said hmm, let’s see what happens.

After two and half years, I decided that well, and according to that, I moved Astrofocus to another level, with the monk reading a book about Buddha´s teachings in the middle of the African book. The whole Astrofocus® is about aspects of our lives. We expectantly leaf through the pages of the future, while in deja vu feelings or in the eyes of some people around us we can read the notion that this future has already been written. The desert under the model represents the next page in the book of her life.

“Can you burn bridges in such Aries way, turn the page and begin living well again, either from your own will, or because you were forced by people and fate?…”
