self-portrait
(July 30, 2016)
Downtown Dallas, TX

It was an evening filled with confused emotions. Everything happened so fast within a few hours. I just wanted to attend the Opening Reception of the exhibition entitled "Veiled Grace" featuring the work of Shayema Rahim and Lesli Robertson, two women who find beauty in unexpected materials.
(www.facebook.com/events/192540057816068/).
I was overwhelmed by textures and a brilliant combination of medias the artists used for their creations. Unfortunately, my life tends to offer me all kind of extreme feelings at once. As soon as I left the gallery, I found unexpectedly a pigeon on the sidewalk nearby. It seemed it couldn't fly. I noticed that its back legs were paralyzed. It was very hot that evening. It's a long story which perhaps I'll tell you some day.

Anyway, this picture was taken at the Japanese restaurant nearby. No, I didn't dine there. I was just passing by, and stopped for a little while to see how it would feel to be reflected at that moment.
