The Ankh Cross

Since my childhood, the Ankh Cross has always intrigued me by its shape and its mystery.

This has considerably gained in significance during my voyage to Egypt.

I have made this cross with a coded memory on its surfaces.

I wear it.

It has also ben integrated into several of my works of art and it merges with my names.
