On a cool and wet night in 2012 I embarked on a stroll around Melbourne Australia with my camera and tripod hoping to get some good reflections. In one laneway I found good lighting and great graffiti. The image languished on my hard drive until, in 2015, I manipulated the image such that it was mirrored and turned sideways. I noticed that the mirroring adjustment gave the impression of ancient Egypt, and so I put the eyes from a doll in the centre to make it look a bit like Cleopatra. This image was accepted into the Creative section of the 2015 Sydney International Exhibition of Photography.
