Product Description
This artwork captures the moment after leaving the hotel alone in Dahab, South Sinai.
No escort.
No protection.
Only distance created — and time slowed.
A solitary figure stands on the shoreline at night.
Rendered in silver and monochrome, the image strips the scene back to its essentials: awareness, restraint, survival.
The reflection doubles the presence — body above, mind below — a deliberate pause while threat recalibrates elsewhere.
This was not rest.
It was controlled waiting under threat.
The Silver Edition represents:
-
Solitude after a planned removal
-
Control without witnesses
-
Discipline under surveillance
This is not decorative art.
It is documented survival.
The actual Story
The Story Behind the Image
After the radiation strike to the side of my head, I didn’t tell the police officer who was watching me outside the hotel.
I didn’t explain. I didn’t ask for help.
I threw my rucksack off the balcony, said “let’s go,” and left.
I walked to Masbat Beach — directly outside the Dahab police station I had been on earlier — and took my position facing the water. I had been told the Russians were taking me in the Red Sea at 6 a.m.
So I waited.
For hours I stood at ease under the moonlight, looking across the Gulf of Aqaba toward Saudi Arabia.
No phone. No movement. No cover.
Just time passing and the sea holding its line.
Somewhere in those hours, doubt crept in — not panic, but exhaustion.
The kind that comes when you’ve been managing death for too long.
I turned around, walked into the police station, and asked the officer to take me into the back room and put a bullet in my head.
He cocked his weapon.
I slammed a one-pence coin — Queen Elizabeth II — onto the desk.
I picked it up. Put it back in my pocket.
That was the line.
I walked back out, returned to the same spot on the beach, and stood at ease again until first light.
6 a.m. came.
Nothing happened.
This image captures that stretch of time — the hours of waiting, the moment of self-doubt, and the decision to hold the line anyway.
Not heroism.
Discipline.
Standing still was the choice that kept me alive.Edition Details
