Europa and the Bull find each other on the shores of Sidon and fight for their lives as Zeus uses them and drags them into the sea. Europa first appears out of the long grass surrounded by dancers. The starching heat, the scents, the heaviness and the tragedy in the air inform this ongoing illustration process, half way between the figurative and the abstract.
