Holding Hands

subtitle

2017-2019

Work description and interpretation
This work is one of the formalisations of a moment in our life that I spent with my mother, of a gesture that we both wanted to hold onto. These are all the pictures taken between 2017 and 2019, printed on different prints, each with a grid containing seventy photos.
Series description and interpretation
Hands
Since May 2017 my daily meetings with my mother have been recorded in a repetitive photographic image depicting the contact between my hand and hers. My obsessive way of accumulating everything, of not letting anything I find important go, and of not letting people I love go, has led me to capture this gesture every time she and I see each other.
