A creature covered head to toe appears at the top of a sand cliff. On top of the desolated world, she appears strong, mysterious, wild… but hidden. A queen dressed in red walks through the desert, escorted by women dressed in black chaddor. They walk with purpose through the desert. The creature is walking in the same formation escorted by the same women. The creature and the queen are walking towards each other, whom is looking for whom ? Will they meet ?

The word nature refers to the natural world as well as to one’s inner nature. The desert is where Majnun (the “lit” one, the one who has lost his mind to love) ends up wandering in the eternal swirl (dance) with the Beloved… Mentrix’s nature seeks her higher self in the desert of her soul.
