One of three solo works composed at Villa San Michele (Capri, Italy) in 2023, based on art objects from the villa’s collection. This composition was inspired by the two sphinxes at the villa; the bigger 3000-years-old Egyptian one overlooking the Gulf of Naples and the smaller Etruscan one which formerly stood there, but was moved further into the garden when the bigger one took its place. The piece is composed for one flutist playing piccolo flute in the beginning, later changing to alto flute.

Recorded February 2025 at Odeum, Lund University.
