    Gavi Bravo said (11 Aug 2008):

    A very intense and indelible portrait with democracy literally written under the skin. The neutral color palette betrays the power of the message, and I'm curious what the other ink is all about. The connection the man has with the girl (his daughter?) is at once tight and reciprocal; there is learning on both sides going on here.
