Intro
Look at your reflection, what do you see? Do you see a body merely staring at a mirror? Or do you see a million experiences and memories that make up who you are right now?
Do you look at yourself and think of the times where life could have ended? In that reflection of your ears, do you see the late night conversations with friends that you will treasure forever? In your eyes do you see the dreams that you believed were true only to wake up to see your alarm clock go off before school? Can you smell mamas old dinner and dessert by only seeing you nose in the reflection? Can the view of your mouth trigger the remembrance of the words of affection you spoke to your favorite person and the taste the sweet sugar, and finally can the sight of you face strike you with the memories of the expressions you made on your birthday and Christmas?
Well yes, you of course can see, hear, taste, and remember all of these things. However, a spectator observing you only sees another plain human being and that’s it. It is impossible to tell someone else’s story by only looking at them, but is it possible to paint and illustrate someone’s whole narrative by observing their actions?
