In the wilderness with you is paradise enough

In the wilderness with you is paradise enough

This work was created as a response to the poetry of Omar Khayam and translated by Edward Fitzgerald.

“A book of verses underneath the bough
A flask of wine, a loaf of bread and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness
And wilderness is paradise now.”
― Omar Khayyám

The work was part of my MA project through which I wanted to show the joy friendship.

This picture shows two women sat outside beneath a peach tree and in front of an open book.. One pours drink from a jug into the other womans glass. The drink flows as if it is the river running between mountains.
