Statue of the poet, Tozeur, Tunisia, 2008

A string of flags leads to the statue of Tunisian poet Abu Kassim Chebbi. I photographed in this statue in backlight, and played it against a cloudscape in the background. It is difficult to make an image of poetry, yet I feel that this photograph expresses a poetic feeling of its own. The abstracted figure of Chebbi and the beautiful pattern of the late afternoon clouds seem to fit each other well.

Often we think of poets as having their heads in the clouds. This one does.
