Sometimes you do something midway and give up on it, and upon returning you discover that it was actually quite fascinating.
Such as this Glasses Girl and other random doodles I scanned in for my process book. My FYP itself was changed because I revisited a random subconscious doodle. We will never know what Glasses Girl would look like complete, but she needs to be incomplete.
And other midway things: ET's tongue when she starts to clean herself but gets distracted by me and leaves it hanging out. And a storybook that I started writing in sec two that was loosely inspired by Anne of Green Gables, casting me and carissa as fairies: I wish I had written more chapters because I want to find out who Robyn-Jacque ended up with and how. And this piece of knitting that I didn't finish because I couldn't remember how to, and three pearls later I have my favourite shelf decoration:
And the half-cascading wall of clippings that I left hanging for a very long time, because while taking it down I realised it looked better half-removed:
Midway is also the camera click when nobody's ready, when things are in the process of being posed, and the only time when our true faces are seen.
And if I hadn't given up midway, there would be no 25 today either. I have an itch to do a project on perfect incompleteness.
