At the same time as the work of art seeks its own life, the experience that inspired it needs to be conserved.

–Dag Sveen, Art Historian

In spring and summer of 2012, Trudi Jaeger spent two months in Rome. Long walks along the ancient Appian Way and the streets of Rome evoked a vivid experience of past and present times. Historical parks such as Il Giardino Segreto della Farnesina, a small park belonging to Villa Farnesina, would inspire many of her works from this stay.
