‘Satie goes one step further in your current series. There is indeed the scent of an old book in it; now that I have read the story, it is even more impressive. It has a Geistigkeit that is hard to put into words, a brittle atmosphere that could break at any moment. It is as if you are looking at a chessboard on which the pieces confront each other and threaten to turn the moment. I am also reminded of some works by Hammershøi, in which composition and light come together in an almost Buddhist zero point where everything is in harmony.’
— Geert, in a letter to the artist
