The thing about M Lisa is the depth of her eyes, that is why you see her the way you feel, like a mirror, the depth of her look sinks you. When you look at Sabouki’s Mona Lisa, you again feel like you’re sinking, yet so different, this time you become her, you feel the graceful pain of all Af- ghan women but not in a cliché. You don’t have to see her suffering; you see her beautiful eyes smil- ing. You feel the glory and purity. The way they are not seen often.
