Our face expresses beyond words, and sometimes beyond our control, our origin, our mood, our experience, better than any other part of our body.
It is the mirror of
the soul. It is an infinite gateway towards the other, as much as into the inner self.

As we grow into ourselves, lines appear across our skin. They are the visible roots of our tree of life, which bear witness to the subtle trails shaping our life, here or there.Most vegetal life is confined to a selected location by its roots, ours endow us with the freedom to settle wherever the wind takes us, just like scattered seeds.
Here or
there, a bud emerges each and every time we stumble upon something unfamiliar, unknown or mysterious. Accordingly, we nourish the fertile soil that learning is to our developement.
Sometime
s, something embeds itself in spite of ourselves, we then leave a small part of our history, in suspension, somewhere.
Here or
there, each encounter sparks a new impulse, a fresh root, which anchors us deeper into our destiny.
Here or
there, I am. I exist. I live. I become.
I
come. I go. I think. I look. I share. I expand.
Here and
there. Never quite far. Never quite close.
I
t feels as if it happened so little time ago.I am still dazzled by the intensity of the eyes staring right through me. 

The sounds, the scents, the heat, the thrill ...
Sometimes,
tiny roots embed themselves in spite of ourselves, we then leave a small part of our history, in suspension, somewhere.
