this is so gentle.. and everything looks like it's been done with a toothpick. i kind of feel like i've intruded into a room where humans are being built and the carver turns around and i see an unfinished girl. her body hasn't even been started yet and even her face is transparent. or else it's something near the end, a beggar who doesn't even hold out her hand anymore, and so there's just space and cloth where you'd expect it.
so your title is perfect.

i was in awe of the absolute trust she put in every passer-by that they wouldn't steal from her, or hurt her.
i once read of a performance artist, installed at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (or whatever it's called, out in Kilmainham). i think she was naked (although this detail may just be my fevered imagination), but next to her was an array of items, such as feathers, string, chains, ropes, whips and so on, with an invitation that the audience could use anything they wanted on her, as the 'art' was the interaction between object and flesh.
a few of the art-loving attendees took the opportunity to beat her so badly that the 'art' had to be removed from the exhibition space before they killed her.

i really admire people who can put so much faith in human nature .. particularly considering "human nature being what it is", as Thucydides said.
