Three Different Stories
“Strawberries. Cream. A room different from this one. A thread it didn’t want to name.”
One room, three times. The lines never change: an arch, a striped floor, a kitchen island, a window full of light. Only the colour does. Slide, and see which one you remember.
Red and Green
the palette that became a book
White is the sea. Red and green meet in it: on the chairs, along the floor, under the arch.
Was the carpet green, or did he make it green because she was called that?
As drawn.

Was the room really red and green?
Red & GreenA Short Philosophical Novella
A short book about space, memory and colour. About the rooms we carry inside us, and the quiet doubt that what we carry is not what was there. A taste of strawberries brings a whole room back. The novella leaves the question open.
Is the red you see the red I see?
Is a memory a place — or only a way of looking back?

And if the colours are wrong, what remains?
Take the colour away, and see.
Blue and Red
the same room, cooled
Red withdraws to the chairs, the counter and a single thin line. Teal-blue takes the floor and the island.
Where did the red go?

Coral
the same room, flushed
The same room with its contrast switched off. One warm family, and wooden chairs as the only change of material.
Light that comes from nowhere in particular.
