Examining medieval scrolls, I chanced upon an image in the illustrated marginalia—a frightened knight fighting a snail. Confronting the snail, with its spiral shell that seems to imply the infinite dimension of the universe and the ability to travel backwards and forwards in time, the mortal knight, whose physical power and time are limited, can but beg for his life.
Two straight lines intersect on a sheet of paper resting on a small stand. A rod rises from this intersection supporting a small object: a palm-sized knife. The handle of the knife is made of snail shell out of which emerges a silver-plated brass body and an anodized blade. This object faces and stretches in two directions simultaneously. One coils inwards, the other juts out sharply and turns outward.
The object on which the snail-knife rests recalls in its logic monastery choir stalls, furniture that demark independent spaces, disconnected from their surroundings, almost separate rooms. Choir stalls include a chair and a stand for placing a book, for writing, or for presenting various objects—mostly sacred icons—for contemplation and reflection. This is a protected, intimate space for a moment of exhalation and inhalation, filling and emptying, reading and writing.

A bird-of-paradise flower is placed within a glass vessel made of three parts in blue, red and yellow. The flower is so named for its resemblance to a spectacular bird that seems to be drinking nectar from its stem: the wide sepal that carries the flower resembles a bird’s stomach, with the sharp angle between the stem and the sepal evoking a beak, and the petals appearing like fluttering wings. The form of the bird suggested by the flower entices nectivorous birds to land on its “stomach.” Pollen particles stick to their legs and fall off as they fly onto the next flower, contributing to the plants’ pollination and reproduction.
Like the glass vessel, the flower too – belongs to the monocotyledon group – comprised of multiples of three: three petals, three stamens, and so forth. It also has three colors: orange sepals, purple petals and green stem. The vessel is made of the three primary colors, the flower of the three secondary colors. Together they comprise the full color wheel—two that are one, and one that breaks up into its elements.
