Jeffree says: “A Room in Lhasa, from the Silk on the Road series, represents a vision of an ancient Tibetan monastery. The perspective is cubist and layered to reveal the monastery and site from the outside and inside all-at-once and across time. The mono-chrome pallet and details draw a timeless, austere, mostly unadorned yet cultural and spiritual retreat. The purposefully shifting view-points suggest an almost inaccessible, secret and maze-like physical and mental site in which inner seeing and sight become the picture's implied aim and puzzle."
