Litania III is a work inspired by the figure of a hermit. It is a work that focuses on one’s intimate, on one's private and inner expressions. Its title comes from Fernando Pessoa's Book of Disquiet:
“Litany. We never know self-realization. We are two abysses – a well staring at the sky.
(...) its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.
(...) I indifferently narrate my factless auto-biography, my lifeless history.
(...)
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”
