Suicide note "I have a feeling I shall go mad. I cannot go on longer in these terrible times. I shan't recover this time. I hear voices and cannot concentrate on my work. I have fought against it but cannot fight any longer".- Virginia Woolf, author, d. March 28, 1941 - Woolfs vocation & acclamations: Author, Critic, Essayist, Publisher


Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton, on April 10th 1912. On April 14th at 11:40pm, Titanic hit an iceberg. 2 hours later, on April 15th, the Titanic went down - Shipbuilding company - "Harland & Woolf"


Robert Flynt did the image for this project. This is image was created in Arizona, USA, printed in Brighton, UK and taken to Rodmell to be sent into the water. Mr. Flynt has a direct relation with the water in his work. The image was created with a under-water shot and a map from Queen Mary liner.

Piano (sample)

Piano (sample) - 10th March
Rodmell Church, East Sussex, England

- PIANO >> a piece for piano and movement in two parts, 1994 - was played a sample at Rodmell Church with no public.
The church is on the back of Virginia's house.
"Piano" piece was originally created at home and reflects the incapacity for adjustment with the idea of perfection.

Quotes by Virginia Woolf >>

.That great Cathedral space which was childhood

. Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title

.I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street

.For most of history, Anonymous was a woman

.As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world

.It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly
