"There are images that stay in the back of our mind's eye while we hurriedly walk around the streets. You hardly notice them, and they are imprinted on very few film frames in our memory. Yet, they stay with us. They return without warning during that interval between sleeping and wakefulness when we think about ourselves and the world and when we get ourselves away from the everyday repetition of words and gestures. This is the time when we notice that all around us and with us there arc men, women and children who love (and sometimes love you), drink, dance, eat, run, jump, play, hug each other, read, sleep, love again, ask for handouts, Iive, look at you, and ask for your own look, your thoughts, and your love. They ask that you notice them as people." (Ursula Ferrara)
