hands

"The hands (med./lat.: manus, pl. manūs) are the two intricate, prehensile, multi-fingered body parts normally located at the end of each arm of a human or other primate. They are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment, using anywhere from the roughest motor skills (wielding a club) to the finest (threading a needle), and since the fingertips contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings on the human body, they are also the richest source of tactile feedback so that sense of touch is intimately associated with human hands. Like other paired organs (eyes, ears, legs), each hand is dominantly controlled by the opposing brain hemisphere, and thus handedness, or preferred hand choice for single-handed activities such as writing with a pen, reflects a significant individual trait." ~ From Wikipedia

Going through my images from this trip and even last year’s, I am struck by all the hands that appear in the frames. Brian, my friend from last year’s workshop who designed the logo for Change the Truth came up with the hand motif without any suggestions from me. I think the whole idea of making a connection is what this may be about. A connection to ourselves, a connection to others, a connection to the world.
