Jane always saw the faces in the air, in the water stains on the walls, in the shade on the trunks of the trees. But after his 70th birthday, he stopped seeing them as an accident. She began to believe that she had memories in search of home.
In a small village of the mountain, Jane founded a strange studio. It was not filled with canvas but with fog mirrors, charcoal -SID glasses, and scrap with rain water fabric. Its tools were not brushes, but his finger, breath, and ash’s whisper.
The villagers came with questions, not with the commissions. “Do you remember my mother’s smile?” Or “Last time we dancing looked like my sister?” Jane closes her eyes and listens – not by her words, but the way she stopped, the weight of their silence. Then it will start.
Each portrait emerged like a fog at dawn. Inexpected, yet uncomfortable intimacy. There were no faces, but as they were felt. Jane painted the remains of love, grief and time.
One day, a child asked for a face never saw anyone – his non -birth twin face. Jane hesitated. But when he put his hand against the wrong glass, a warm rotation was circulated inside. The portrait was slowly, softly formed, as if a breath was missed.
Jane never claimed to be an artist. He said he was a translator that the memory dared not to speak out loud. And in blurry and shadow he tied up, people found something they did not know that they were lost.
