In this cubist interpretation, Zara distills the elemental drama of the Albanian legend into fractured architecture and mythic geometry. Berat – Shpirag – Tomorr pulses with tectonic rhythm, its forms echoing the spiritual and emotional weight of the tale: Tomorr, the bearded mountain god in eternal rivalry; Shpirag, his youthful opponent; and the mournful city of Berat, weeping between them.

Jagged contours evoke not only mountain crests but psychological terrain—rage, loss, and silent remembrance manifest in sharply interlocked blocks and voids. The composition defies spatial logic, just as myth defies historical chronology. It is both legend and landscape, where each abstract corridor is a pathway through generational grief.

Color acts as narrative: warm siennas speak to Berat’s earthly sorrow, while cooler hues trace the metaphysical presence of the contending mountains. Monumentality is not just scale—it’s density. Each cubist shard becomes a reliquary for inherited memory, carved from abstraction yet weighted with ancestral breath.

Zara’s layering technique mirrors sedimented time, embedding myth into materiality. Just as Silent Echoing Layers explores figuration’s transformative process, this piece refigures mythology into a visual liturgy. It does not depict a legend—it enacts one.
