  • Sleeping amidst the Landscape of chance and survival.
    The cane of the blind man is littered across this scene.

    The dice has wings as if they have just landed nearby.
    Three impressions on the dice, three openings and three round forms that have escaped from the dice.
    The sleeping recumbent figure protected from the spears by the multi-colored disk.

    Remarkable collection of unanswerable questions.
    Who and why and where?
