Sand and Soul is an hour long immersive experience into the solitude of the Sinai wilderness. Travelling by jeep with local Bedouin and legendary Sinai Guide Dr. Rabia, Richard and two companions journey into the desert on an ancient pilgrim route that leads to the heights of Mount Sinai. Along the way aspects of the desert become poetic metaphors for reflection on the wilderness times of life – those times when a person can find themselves in an uncertain and lonely ‘landscape’ and have to find their way again. The video toggles between stunning visual experiences and reflective meditations, between landscape and inscape, between sand and soul.
