In the painting, two people are sitting by a campfire against the backdrop of a bright blue sky, from which sparks rise like a meteor shower. Their figures are enveloped in a soft light reflecting off the flames, creating a sense of coziness and warmth in contrast to the cold background.

The characters' garments, rendered in light pastel tones, emphasize their calmness and focus. A light haze from the fire adds a mystical atmosphere to the scene, while bright bursts of light, like fireworks, introduce a sense of dynamism and life. They seem to be partaking in a ritual filled with deep meaning, and the viewer unwittingly becomes a witness to a moment when time stands still, and harmony reigns around them.

On the night when the stars lit up over the disaster, two pilgrims sat by the fire, surrounded by soft light and a strong wind. The flames danced as if they were consciously powerful, and each pagan complained of ancient stories of travel and dreams.

One of the Berbers, wise and calm, looked at the fire and said: "Each of us is a spark that can ignite the world around us. We must strive for this light, for our true nature." His voice sounded like music, and in it one could feel the depth of knowledge accumulated over many years.

The other, younger and more enthusiastic, listened with delight. "But how do you find this light?" he asked, looking at his friend. "How do you know which path to take among the endless sands of life?"

The elder traveler smiled, and his eyes sparkled like stars. “The path to his light begins with the voices within. Listen to it. It will lead you to your destiny. Every step you take is part of your journey, and even if you lose your way, the universe will always help you return.”

The fire crackled, and in this sound they found solace. The night enveloped them like an ancient fairy tale, full of mystery and magic. They, that every moment spent together is a gift. In this solitude, among the sounds of nature, they were not just strangers, but seekers of their destiny, the instability of the invisible thread that was woven into their lives.

And so, sitting by the fire, they lost themselves in their thoughts, enjoying the moment. That day, when they returned to their people, the sacrifices became not only the warmth of the fire, but also the light that they found within themselves. Thus the travelers became part of the great cycle of life, every moment counting.

The painting depicts two people standing next to a blazing fire at the center of the composition. Dressed in Berber garments, they warm their drums, filled with warmth from the bursts of dancing flames. Their illuminated faces are immersed in a traditional ritual passed down through generations.

The background of the painting is rendered in soft tones of delicate lilac and peach, creating an atmosphere of warmth and coziness. These colors harmoniously contrast with the bright light of the fire, adding dynamism and deep emotional resonance. The warmth and movement of the fire bring a sense of life, while the surrounding environment, with palm leaves for kindling, adds an exotic flair. This painting evokes a feeling of tranquility and connection to ancient traditions, immersing the viewer in the magical world of Middle Eastern culture.

The mullah chants the Koran,
To the rhythm of the evening Maghreb
The immortal Caravan sounds»
