I made this image a few moments after the preceding picture. The hands of the woman seen in both of these images have known a hard life. Yet there is much grace and beauty in how she uses them. (That is not polish on her fingernails. The red color is from henna, which is rubbed over the hands.) She was obviously getting accustomed to our presence. She unfolded the scarf that had veiled her face, and lets it fall around her shoulders. As she handled it, I made this image. We don’t see much of her face here – I let her hands speak for her. There is gentle, caring, graceful quality to her gesture.
