White on White
by Ayşegül Savaş
A student studying Gothic nude sculptures meets a gorgeous, poised, inscrutable woman who proceeds to seemingly bond with the student. Digressing often into meaningful, yet obtuse stories of her life from childhood to present day circumstances, the student sits in the same way for a painter.
What is not depicted or shown or reacted to becomes a secondary piece of information to juxtapose that actual stories, and what they might be trying to convey to the student and the reader. In that way, it becomes about “reading” art and interpreting it, in the same way the two women seem to be. As well as present a facade in the aesthetic sense conjoined with the art.
It’s a brilliant, short piece with excellent craft on all fronts. Gorgeous prose work, enticing story and pacing, and a wicked, subjective ending. Loved this roundly.
