Many thanks to Attila for diffidently bringing us these images, like tunes for which we do not know the words. The human faces that shine through the pages of Ebru, and meet the viewer eye to eye with an incredible sincerity and trust, with their priceless sense of humor making light of themselves and, at times, the spectator, defeat this whole game of watching and being watched. Maybe we can aspire to becoming accomplices in conjuring as rich and colorful a tapestry in our mundane lives.
