The retreat from above in daylight: rounded roofs, gardens and water in a grid of trees.

Let the images do some of the writing.

A stream running between cottages, seen from above, purple blossom at its banks.
THE LAND

KIKI, in its own time.

The place changes with rain, season, light and hour. These are glimpses rather than a complete picture.

Cottages and ponds from close above, blossom between the roofs.
ARCHITECTURE
A pierced stone screen wall and a round stone plinth under tall trees.
MATERIAL
A warm timber kitchen, a thali set out on the wooden table.

FOOD

A stream stepping down through boulders in low golden light.
WATER
A low earth-walled building with an arched doorway, trees around it, the sky going orange.
ARCHITECTURE
Cottages stepping across a slope from above, water pooling between them, terraces to one side.

THE LAND

A place remembered in fragments.

Move between wide photographs and close observations: wet stone after rain, a path disappearing into planting, a hand resting against a wall, water moving through a shallow edge, a table being prepared, a cottage after dark.

The Gallery should not explain every image. It should give the visitor enough space to form their own impression.

A pond at sunset with a cluster of cottages behind it, boulders along the water's edge.
WATER
A fire pit at dusk, stone benches around it, lamps lit among the trees.
MATERIAL

The landscape keeps changing. And so will the retreat.
