Filfla is a tiny island off the southern coast of Malta, which was used up until 1970 for target practice by the Royal Navy and RAF. Since then it has become a nature reserve. Curiously on the mainland opposite, are the ancient temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, themselves crumbling and in a state of decay.

For me the enchantment of Malta is multi-layered. It has a history which goes back thousands of years. Each layer of Malta's history has its own characteristic, which in turn gives it a mystique and its own uniqueness.

To enter or peak through a Doorway is to leave behind a world that we inhabit and allow ourselves to be drawn into a macro world, of someone else's life. It is both entrance and exit, acting as a physical barrier between two worlds.

To the fisherman the boat is essential to his livelihood. This type of boat also indicates the type of fishing, which is being engaged in.

The Doorway might reflect an aspect of the world within, where its owner wishes
to reflect a status. This might be achieved through a choice of materials, building style and proportion. Or the Doorway may remain neutral, to disassociate the observer from the private world within.

The Bus Stop is a non space that we inhabit while waiting for a bus, another non
space.
