Great party at de Pury last night.
I met Steve Sabella, a young Palestinian photographer and loved his piece (lot 50).
Steve's works evolve around the theme of Exile, as he experiences it having left Jerusalem for London.
I related to his picture so strongly.
A kaleidoscope of London views, as the mind sees it.
Lost and there, belonging and always foreign.
Me too, I'm in exile.
