The door, St. Michaels Monastery, Kiev, Ukraine, 2009

Three vividly colored painted saintly figures incongruously seem to be sternly watching a visitor exiting one of the doors to the monastery, while she takes no note of them. I liked the concept of bringing the past and present together in this way – the figures with the halos around their heads are painted larger than life in scale, and all of them have their eyes riveted on the area in front of the door.
