Making The wind of change The work on this project started in 27 august 2005 and it was finalized exactly two years later. It's an image constructed as a diptych. It consists of two parts/sides which are in complete opposition.

The basic idea is the already known artistic theme of good versus bad. The entire image is filled with a multitude of symbols and correlations between the two parts. The same thing as seen through two different perspectives. One thing can be very good and very bad, it only depends on how you see it.

This image is dedicated to Alizée Jacotey.

Thanks to Cinemike, Radu Filip and to Tor-Erlend for continued support and suggestions. I apologize if I forgot to list someone who provided me suggestions.
