NOW I CAN SEE ...

Now I san see...

self-portrait by Okke Spierenburg, Barcelona 2012 © Mixed media photo (55x42,5 cm)


Now I can see...is a reflection of a moment during my stay in Barcelona.

At the end of the day when the light is softer, I realised that all I can see
is what I want to see. So better to close my eyes and think what I want to see...
