In Spain's Inquisition era, a Moor wakes to a sepia-colored morning.  A premonition of 9/11 appears in the barren landscape behind him.  This was a preliminary study for the 2002 “Requiem Prayer for a Muslim.”  "The Moor" was part of the group of works displayed on the walls of the "Il Portico" installation in 2002.
