This picture was inspired by the reading of a beautiful book, 'The Sterkarm Handshake', by Susan Price. As you probably have guessed it is about the impossible love between a 21st century girl and a 16th century boy.

Ah.. first comment. This is indeed an interesting picture. Sadly I have yet to read that book, but if it is as good as this portrayal, I will be sure to read it soon. Great work on the split of the timeline. Keep up the good work.

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you, this is actually an old picture that has been sitting lonely here for a long time... I would probably do it a bit differently now, and maybe i will sooner or later. Anyway I will keep the splitting of timeline since it is the main concept here2 And about the book, it is really worth reading 2"

I keep coming back to this picture. I am unsure why but it definitely does something to me. It spawned a new char too. I really like this picture I like how the door lintel and tiled floor cross through time without effort but the trivial things that we often take as more important can't withstand the passage of time.

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Hi Drig, I'm really happy you like it. I'm not totally satisfied with this picture atm, the perspective could be a little less flat and I should work more on details, but im happy I managed to convey the message in spite of my poor skills 2 I definitely need to redo it 2"
