In this trompe l’oeil still life from Lucinda’s “In a Box” series, treasured reminders of the Middle East are brought into dialogue with the English countryside. A wren, perched playfully atop an antique Aladdin’s lamp, anchors the scene in the UK, while dates and timeworn books evoke Arabia’s rich heritage. The artist’s signature appears as the author’s name on the spine of Tales from Arabia, a personal touch that entwines memory, symbolism, and place.
