Bad Luck

Pouring lead to repel the evil eye is a tradition that is still being practiced and hundreds of years before. The person who is receiving the lead sits down on the floor on their knees with a white cloth over their face as hot lead gets poured into cold water over their head. The loud sound the lead makes is interpreted as the evil eye breaking and the person getting rid of their bad luck. This composition is a symbolic representation of the lead droplets and the evil eye.
