DAY 242

This morning I picked Ezgi. Thank you life, for serving me well! It wasn’t my best morning and there was a kind of darkness, I struggled with. This inspiration fitted so well:

And Ezgi had shared, that her photo was taken in placed called Ayna, which is the Turkish word for Mirror … and this inspired her to a poem:

Mirrors, trying to show our real faces to ourselves
The truth beneath our soul
Taking off all the masks
Can you see it?
Is it the fear that makes us cover
From outside world?
The desire to hide your weaknesses
It is us, covering
Hiding real faces
Don’t blame anyone for the reason.
Look at the mirror,
It is you!
In the atelier it was once again very interesting, as today no oil or other paint I’d used so far “entered” the stage – today it was coffee – Turkish coffee! The “brighter” colours are pure coffee, for the darker ones I mixed some ink into it. I had no idea, what would come out or also how it may change its colours in the future. The Turkish coffee powder is still on the dark parts of the paper, it may peel off too …
Thank you, Ezgi!
