Standing under the arched entrance to a sacred hamam in Istanbul, these two women embody the younger self communing with her present self. They are sisters, partners, Gemini twins standing at the water’s edge in Botticelli's sea. They embrace their awareness of the bending of time and, together, experience the “all at once.” The halo of roses above their heads offers heart protection,
hellebore flowers at their feet a symbol of serenity, resilience, and new beginnings. They are crowned with an ultramarine celestial guide.
