Baby Face

“Baby Face”

10 x 15.5 inches ✧ Medium: Chalk pastel on paper

The hearts shaped mole was a dead give away.

You looked at her in parts, if you could help it. Focused on her mole, her nose, then maybe her teeth. To behold her beauty all at once wasn’t a death sentence, but you could find your self stuck in awe, this isn’t something you wanted to be. In other lands they would call it a spell.

I though to myself why do strange creatures take such beautiful forms. Ibrahim called them Dejí eaters mom called them Abísho, plants that took on our human form for their own purposes. Im sure they would say to guide and protect, I don’t know which I would bet my life on. They did good most times but evil isn’t unknown to them.

It wasn’t easy to spot them. They could be so beautiful it was hard to look all at once, thats why you focus on detail.

Their true self emerges from the cracks in our form, you could see her leafy tendrils escaping

it seemed like she had something stuck in her teeth.
