100 Fildzana - 36
Open to Interpretation!
I usually have no idea what I will name a piece until I see it up on the screen. For this one in particular, nothing came up. Will you join me in deciding the Caption for this cup!?*
What is your vision? What do you see? Who is in there? What are they doing? What does this inspire in you?
Share with us - you are Well Come!
*If you leave a comment on what you see and put a caption that best suits it - I will choose the one that most closely resembles my original instinct for the cup and repost this particular piece with your name and caption next Sunday for #43! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

This post was inspired by a lovely comment from the writer and artist Susan Ersinghaus on my presentations on this blog. She said she would love to 'speak the language of Turkish coffee':
I speak four languages and in thinking about how I learned to speak and understand them, I realize that similar steps are involved in learning the 'language of Turkish coffee'. It is indeed a beautiful way of contextualizing what I do: processing, creating, seeing, figuring out 'sounds' and images in my brain. When I interpret what I see in a fildzan and snap a photograph, mostly I am recording history - documenting the story and symbols of my cup. I have taken thousands of pictures over the years. I hope that it evokes conversation, memories, sensations, ideas. What appears initially to the naked eye at the bottom of the cup is an immediate impression that eventually transforms from something vague into a pattern of words - a 'form' here and a shadow there... the third eye is attracted and awakens. Recognition.

More.
There is a seductive 'leading on': a prompting, pushing to cognition; suddenly the opening of fleshy dreams from the 'old country', grandmothers, sister sing-songs from a long time ago.... a voice is heard in the distance. From the fields of self life a word resonates - it is familiar in my own language...the language of interiors. A sentence is formed, a symbol is recognized, a picture is named. Turkish Coffee Language.
