About The Work
A critical work by Adnan, the final etching in this series. Etel was unable to put pencil to paper due to her fading health, which ultimately led to her passing. As a result, she signed the first print off the press, which was transcribed and etched to the edition. Her closing act added a profound layer of meaning. This moment of finality deepens the resonance of the title, Fil de temps or Thread of Time, with an ironic undertone that persists as does the colourful soul in the world she left behind.
