Cities of You

City #24: Sheeshani (Stephanie S)

16 x 20", Gouache and Marker on Paper

The floating city of Sheeshani is guided by its slowly-turning kaleidoscopic eye. It is through this eye that the citizens of Sheeshani are able to find places with hidden beauty. If you have the opportunity to view a landscape through the lens of Sheeshani, you will see not one, but thousands of images, each of which exhibit a unique perspective of that landscape. One image is through the eye of the past, another through the eye of the future. One is from the perspective of a bird, another a sea turtle, a tree, an ant. One is through the eyes of someone close to death; another is through the eyes of someone just born.
