Est-ce la lumière qui souffle dans les herbes comme un départ qui se répète ? Est-ce la lumière qui fait gonfler le fruit comme une victoire qui s'établit ? Est-ce la lumière qui imprime le dessin des arbres d'hiver qui s'adressent au ciel ? La réponse dans sa main de poussière.

Is it light that blows through the grasses like a departure that repeats itself? Is it light that makes the fruit swell like a victory taking shape? Is it light that imprints the drawing of winter trees addressing the sky? The answer in its hand of dust.

È la luce che soffia tra le erbe come una partenza che si ripete? È la luce che fa gonfiare il frutto come una vittoria che si stabilisce? È la luce che imprime il disegno degli alberi d’inverno che si rivolgono al cielo? La risposta nella sua mano di polvere.

Marcelle Cahn, Woman and Sail,

In the Master Bedroom, the modern spirit is represented artistically in a Tutundjian collage and a larger Marcelle Cahn painting - both created in 1925. A 9th-century Javanese carved stone deity head rests at bedside, while the bookshelves bear, from left to right, a 17th-century bronze head of Buddha, a 7th-century Chinese marble stele and a pre-Angkor Cambodian deity head.

Marcelle Cahn, 4 Sphères, 1960
