    Beaux visages riches d’histoires et d’Histoire.
    Tourments qui se lisent sur leurs traits. Regards de feu. Tensions d’espoir. Symboles forts que tes choix.

    intense faces.
    visages de pensée, d’espoir, de passion, et de beaucoup d’autres choses de la vie aussi, surement, que nous ne voulons/pouvons plus y voir, que leur disparition a entrainées avec elle. l’ame humaine est complexe et quand le personnage devient célèbre (célébré), l’histoire efface le quotidien, le moins glorieux, le mesquin. ha. et nous, on vit bien avec?

    A richness that engages curiosity about the subjects.
