We’ll Walk to the Tower at Dusk fills the frame with the prickly pear, known locally as il-bajtra tax-xewk. In this composition, form and shadow are carefully balanced, captured in the heavy, direct light of midday. The title alludes to countless walks to this location dear to the artist's heart, the coolness of the evening bearing witness to years of joy and pain, now preserved in one single frame.
In the Maltese landscape, prickly pear plants often line the narrow paths leading to coastal towers. They act as silent markers of time and passage, thriving in rocky soil regardless of the season. Here, the cactus represents an enduring companion standing watch over the landscape as day turns to dusk.
