  1. “And as she lookt about, she did behold,
    How over that same dore was likewise writ,
    Be bold, be bold, and every where Be bold.”
    – Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, III, 11, 54.

  2. This piece was a very special one for me. Watching the film it had a mystic atmosphere. Time stands still and the door opens. Now the story takes of to the next level. At the moment I am section images from series 4. Amazing to see how the story is taken from level to level. The end is simply fear – is that what we sense during theses days?
