“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget … another world is not only possible, she is on her way.
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
- Arundhati Roy,
The Cost of Living (1999)

About the Painting:
Toward the end of his career, the artist began an ambitious series of paintings based on A Thousand and One Nights. One in the series, in this painting, he carefully rendered the architecture, complete with its delicately carved stone latticework, as well as the costumes of the two figures.
