ᝰ THE STORY
"Azure" paints the portrait of an 85-year-old Javanese lady. A lady like no other since azure, often described as the color of the sky on a clear day, happened to be here the color of those lady's stunning eyes.
Her fragile posture and her wrinkles made me notice her at first glance. She was sitting right in front of her house alongside the road when I was riding my motorbike. The fairly fast speed of my motorcycle did not let me directly notice her other, very rare physical attribute, which just made me carry on my way... until my hunch insisted I turn back in order to go meet her.
As I stopped the engine of my motorcycle and started to wave at her from afar while wearing a big smile, I got closer to her. It was then to my greatest surprise that I discovered the shades of her blue eyes. I could not believe what I was seeing! What is more, it seemed that they were accidentally (or purposely?) matching her blue headscarf.
I was both shocked and overwhelmed to make such an encounter. You know, those encounters that you know are only here today, and if you do not grab the opportunity, they will be gone, forever. "Azure" was all of that.
Being extremely shy in front of my lens, and somewhat uneasy because of our lack of clear communication since this grandma could only speak Javanese, I managed to meet one of her daughters who made me understand that the old lady may likely have had a Dutch ancestor.
