One hour before the sunset, Penelope paints the wall. The surface is never dried and the wall can’t be completed in its construction. The ancient house remains accessible to the traveller.

“Penelope’s white wall explores endurance and the nature of actions. The fact that the wall surface does not dry, implies that it is not yet complete to serve as a surface for the artwork, but the work itself.”  Fatos Ustek
