Eyes

I don't remember what i was thinking of when i draw the idea on a piece of paper just before falling asleep.
I think that, in addition to Mouth, I tried to express the silence that remains around a painful event.
Because some scars never heal...

--------
Je ne me souviens plus à quoi je pensais exactement lorsque j'ai fait l'ébauche sur papier juste avant de dormir.
J'essayais surement de trouver comment exprimer le silence qui entoure un événement douloureux.
Il y a parfois des blessures qui ne guérissent jamais...

Mouth

Background : watercolor only
Face : watercolor and ink
Mouth : lipstick and staples

Everyone has a secret that he/she cannot speak about.

-----------

Chacun de nous a un secret dont il ne peut pas parler.

Aquarelle, encre, rouge à lèvres et agrafes.
