About The Blind Portrait

The Blind Portrait revives the intimacy of authentic human connection. In a world where direct, eye-to-eye contact is increasingly avoided, this experience restores the bond that appears when two people truly look at each other. Over a 45-second shared gaze, Moral Turgeman draws a single, continuous-line portrait without looking at the page, capturing more than likeness, the felt presence of the subject. The project has surpassed 6,000 portraits across 26 countries on its path to 10,000; when it reaches 10,000, originals are gifted back to participants as a gesture of reciprocity.
