No, it is a face, that of Afghan child refugee Sharbat Gula shot in11984 by Steve McCurry in a refugee camp in Pakistan.What is so special about the human face that gives it this priority over all otherimages, makes it the prime object for front pages, advertisement, politics and notleast human relationships? Surely,The face provides a plethora of social information about an individ-ual’s gender, age, familiarity, emotional expression and potentially theirintentions and mental state. (Emery, 2000)But the knowledge of that alone does not seem to help much to really appreciatethe role of the human face in direct personal interactions.
