The bugle

Walls and Trumpets by Ofra Zimbalista, Maya House, Borough High Street, Southwark, London

“Walls and Trumpets” by Ofra Zimbalista, 2008
Maya House
Borough High Street, Southwark
London, May 2023

“These three figures, each a vivid shade of brilliant blue, appear to be clinging to and climbing the wall of Maya House; they might be window cleaners, they might even be absailing. Looking more closely, you see two climbing figures, one holding a trumpet, the other holding a bugle, and a third seated figure who seems to be marching triumphantly atop the others, playing a drum – perhaps celebrating the fact that he has reached the top place he was trying to get to.” (Walls and Trumpets, Patrick Comerford)
