Year of the Pig - Sitting on the Cliff I-II (short)

Arlander Annette

Wrapped in a grey shawl, I sit on the cliffs of Harakka Island's northwestern shore around once a week between 6 January 2007 and 3 February 2008. In part 1, I face south and look out at the sea; in part 2, I face north and look towards the city.
