The woman mimics the gesture of being before what she sees. Seeks an other who is willing to witness and, in exchange, gaze back at her. The woman photographs.
The nearness, the surfaces and the beings, the intimacy with the child who refrains from pretending to know and teaches how to be a witness - this opens an outward passage that folds inward. Your gaze is green recreates the transformation that comes when we are existing in our kitchens tearing the bread, and happen to wave from the surface to our self that dwells deep.
