Physical Description
No. 17 of a series of 27 prints. A simple, two-tone palette. From the perspective of a person looking over a column-ringed balcony, the viewer sees only their hands as they look down several stories. At the bottom is the image of a human face, while, at eye-level, is a hand with upturned palm, tethered to the forehead of the face.
Sultana's Dream was printed and published by Durham Press in 2018.
