In the shadows, Essaouira, Morocco, 2006

Nearly concealed in the shadows, an Essaouiran woman begins her day chatting with neighbors from her doorstep. The long shadow cast on the wall of the house invests the image with importance. She seems strong and powerful hiding in the shadowy door way. The blackness within has abstracted her, suggesting her strength.

Thanks, Kal, for seeing the dark as a sanctuary, rather than a void or a fearful place. That is how I felt about it. I saw the shadowy doorway as a source of strength too.

I see the power and safety of the sanctuary that is home here. The dark is sometimes the safest place. K
