An incident or moment expressed upon one’s face is captured then lost. The architecture of the wrinkles, the glimmer in their eyes, or the way their eyes become static for just a moment is ‘incidental architecture’. It can only be witnessed in that moment of time then it is lost. The skin or the glimmer will never be in that spot again. As the skin sheds those memories and the position of the sun at that time to cause that glimmer will never shine upon those cells in that same way again. Not to mention the muscles and fragments that create the form for that moment, which in turn is incidental biological architecture.
The eyes also act as portals to look inside someone. The flow of lines and the invisible lines seen connect us to the natural world and to the person who beholds that expression in their eyes.
