self-portrait
(July 30, 2016)
Downtown Dallas, TX

It was an evening filled with confused emotions.
Everything happened so fast within a few hours.
I just wanted to attend the Opening Reception
of the exhibition entitled "Veiled Grace"
featuring the work of Shayema Rahim
and Lesli Robertson, two women
who find beauty in unexpected materials.
I was overwhelmed by textures and
a brilliant combination of medias
the artists used for their creations.
Unfortunately, my life tends to offer me
all kind of extreme feelings at once.
As soon as I left the gallery,
I found  unexpectedly a pigeon
on the sidewalk nearby.
It seemed it couldn't fly.
I noticed that its back legs
were paralyzed. It was very hot
that evening. It's a long story
which perhaps I'll tell you some day.

Anyway, this picture was taken at the Japanese restaurant nearby.
 No, I didn't dine there. I was just passing by, and stopped for a little while
to see how it would feel to be reflected at that moment.

I love the movement... how did the reflection feel?

Well, it's always ... hard to define.
I think it might be part of discovering something new about myself.
This journey of multiplicity of "selves" seems endless.

That is good... if it is "endless," than we will get more and more of your work!

Distant, out of focus, off center... You have conveyed a very different emotion than the last two in this series. Well done!

Every encounter with the reflection of myself is different.
Perhaps this is the reason. ^.^
Thank you kindly for your lovely words!

for me, all is in the movement of your skirt, flying with a delicate breeze....gorgeous, dear Angélika!

The delicate breeze was the most pleasant part of creating this image, I guess. ^.^
Thank you, Sophie!

your genius is present here,  the air itself is a character in this beautiful drama, warm and soft,  gusts, exhalations, a languid assistant to the movement of fabrics, a lazy partner to the everyday business of dust.
