Medallions of Transformation - Oman

In the Sultanate of Oman, almost dead center of the southern shore of the Arabian Peninsula where the smell of frankincense is omnipresent, I came across a royal medallion which expanded my dimensions and perceptions. This medallion, unsuitable for wearing due to its large size, forms the basis of stories and portraits about a diverse society in constant transformation.

These stories and portraits about changes in form or appearance, about internal shifts that align you with yourself, and/or of skill areas that need to be examined or changed, became, in their own way...
Medallions of Transformation.

Auteur

I was born in Belgium in 1955, and my writings have given me the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and China, resulting in articles in various magazines across Europe, an International Journalism Award in Italy, three travel books, a book on modern Eastern European art and my first novel, The Earth has Fever.
My writings also took me to the Sultanate of Oman with the result: a TV documentary, several articles, two blogs al'arba, mariastories and four books: The DNA of Salalah, Dhofar. A Tourist Guide (2011, English), Treasure Chest Salalah-Dhofar (2012, Arabic-English), Whispers of Oman (2015, English), and The Custodians (2022, English).
