The Suspended Refuge
Canal in Burano at sunset with painted houses, a boatman and a veil of white lace spread on the bank

The Veil of Sea Foam

A refuge woven of legend and salt

A summer evening in Burano: the painted houses glow at sunset, your legs dangle over the canal, a boat drifts slowly by. And a legend of lace and sea foam comes back to mind.

Here time bends, and myth and reality brush against each other, light as a piece of lace suspended in the air.
