“Quiet Island” is a narrative series about Quiet Island, an imaginary place meant for escapes, musings, or meditations. Visit during a traffic jam, while in a waiting room, or because of a news report. Explore its meadows or beaches during a daydream, lunch and gossip in one of the Quiet Island cafes (the menu is yours), breathe the island air, feel its temperatures or listen to its sounds; it’s all up to you. The “Quiet Island” series began in 2016 and is on-going.
