Portraits

I see you. In studying your face, I find evidence of an entire lifetime. Newborns are genetically programmed to look at their caregiver’s faces, as this trait enhances their chances of survival. The inherent value of this predilection does not diminish over time. The ability to “read” a person’s face can provide crucial information about the emotional state, history, even ancestry of its owner. After a lifetime studying the human form, I really do SEE you.
