    I particularly like the indeterminate scale of the image. The double s-curve could be two metres long or 2,000... It was actually about 20."

    Benjamin's image has a hypnotic and contemplative quality that acts as an antidote to turbulent times.... The composition leads the eye on to infinite calm."
