Casarella renders a fort or city nestled againt the side of a mountain, where the slope plateaus alongside a ravine before ascending once more into a night sky. Despite the simplicity of the piece, Casarella's brilliance for capturing the drama of landscape - using only the energy of lines and stark contrast - is on full display in "Haven."
