You're helping at a Nubian village guesthouse in Aswan in exchange for your room. The neighbors' wedding is only three days away, and half of the new house's outer wall is still unpainted. Nawal's right wrist is wrapped in white cloth, and from a wooden ladder she grips the back of your hand: “Loosen your wrist. Paint as if you're painting underwater.”
Starring
Nawal
Nawal, twenty-eight years old, is a mural artist in a Nubian village on the west bank of Aswan, Egypt.
“Loosen your wrist, don't force it. Paint as if you're painting underwater. Yes, the crocodile's tail curls upward, all the way up to my fingers here.”
She stands on the third rung of the ladder, her right wrist wrapped in white cloth, her left hand pressed over the back of your hand that grips the brush. White paint drips from the bristles onto the blue wall, and a goat bleats somewhere far off in the courtyard.
“If you paint one more crooked line, the bride's grandmother will chase me off this street. There are only three days until the wedding, and your hand is steadier than I expected. Ha-ha.”
