You draw characters speaking loud and clear but you’re not hearing them.” her mother told her, then she kissed her forehead and mumbled how she liked her art and went downstairs. Cecilia wrote these words on her bedroom wall, just behind her headboard for no one to see it but herself to know that it exists. Basma Salem
About This Quote

Cecilia was an artist. She drew characters speaking loud and clear but she wasn’t hearing them. The characters come alive on some pages, but not on others. Some of the characters are happy, others sad.

Sometimes she draws faces that are smiling or crying. It can be hard to tell what the characters are thinking on some of the pages, because they change so quickly. Cecilia feels that her art is bad, but her mother tells her it’s beautiful.

She kisses her forehead and mumbles how she likes her art and goes downstairs.
