Powder Sgrafitto Abstract Drawing Challenge_Day 25 Mamihlapinatapai

Mamihlapinatapai

Noun. (Yaghan)

Day 25 assignment is to draw mamihlapinatapai.  This is a Yaghan word...at first glance I thought it was a Hawaiian word with all those vowels :)  So this is "a silent acknowledgement and understanding between two people, who are both wishing or thinking the same thing (and are both unwilling to initiate.

My interpretation of  mamihlapinatapai involves a couple who have deep feelings for each other but neither can profess their love because they are both in committed relationships.

Oh boy, another catch up day!
Day 22 assignment is a Norwegian term for "The indescribable euphoria experienced as you begin to fall in love.  I hope everyone gets to experience this!

Day 23 is Goya - A transporting suspension of disbelief - An "as-if" that feels like reality - such as in good storytelling.

Day 24 Ya'aburnee is Arabic "you bury me".  A beautifully morbid declaration of one's hope that they will die before another person, as it would be too difficult living without them.
