Édith

 

 

Édith Piaf had that rare ability to pour an entire lifetime

of longing into a single note.
Her voice was fragile and fierce at the same time

-the kind of voice that seemed to rise straight from the streets she came from, carrying all the grief.

In this portrait I wanted to hold that moment where her face opens completely to the song, as if nothing else exists but

the emotion she is giving away so freely.
