Once she’s locked the attic door behind her she feels a sense of release, a crack of light in the darkness. What is the name for what she’s feeling?
She wishes it were liberation.

Light in the darkness is the greatest of gifts. (Usually. There are times when it is the greatest of horrors. But not in this photograph.) Beautiful.

We wait for the liberation, and embrace the moments of release in the process. Wonderful post, as always, Sylvia.

Yes, when we are lucky enough to experience those moments, you’re right, the embrace can be so sweet.
This excerpt is from a book of historical fiction about Lee Miller, who was Man Ray’s assistant and muse but was also an excellent photographer in her own right. Although a work of fiction, it inspired me to learn more about Lee Miller’s work. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
