In Cinq is a portrait and poetry project created by Adria Balgassi. We are given intimate moments in the lives of people across the globe through a pairing of self-portraits with personal cinquains (in a less structured, contemporary form). In her words, “Welcome to the Cinq Drawer, an international community art project. 9 words + self portrait = cinqpic. Contribute yours today and get ‘in cinq’ with the world.”
And so I jotted down a cinquain according to her directions, dug up one of my favourite photos and sent it off. You can now find me among dozens of souls also featured on the site.
