THE HAND – punch or caress?
adding a hand to a drawing can talk to us in two different ways
it’s on us to decide how to make it talk, based on the structure that we will give to the drawing or on the movement that the hand will perform
a hand can make a gesture, it can touch something or someone
a hand can lightly touch a cheek
can hold a flower
can close into an explosive fist
can give a caress
can give support
can be a contact
or a barrier
a mother’s hand can touch her baby’s
a woman’s hand can touch a man’s
a hand can lift something or someone up
can help you
can support you
a hand can be the place where a feather lays
a hand can hide a treasure
a hand can show you the way
it can bring the attention to something more important
it can hold back a dream or make it slip away
a hand can shut a mouth or cover the eyes
a hand can do things
therefore, it brings us back to an action or a contact
it can be the main character, or it can help the protagonist to emerge
a hand can.
with love, but always irreverent
