Hand-Writing / Write-Handing      

Hands remain like a relic through time, like their trace in the deep end of caves. Deemed to the darkness of abysses. Walls engraved with hands, bodiless hands, dismembered hands.

Hand- Tool, Hand-Word.

The hand that draws, the hand that kills.

Each hand is a face. Each hand resembles a body. A faceless body, a bodiless hand.

Twisted hands, handicapped hands, piled up on each other. They lack presence, the presence of absence.

 The matter of such multiplicity, the remnants of a traumatic experience. They have survived death and resisted demise. The outcome of the deterioration of bodies, hands without bodies, bodies without organs. Hands that repel the audience outside the text, to where there is no body, to the void outside the frame.

Masses of hands, while singled out, they imply time and signify place. Mournful to time and to space, the hand-words are intensified, eternal and perpetual. Pieces with no unity, pieces with no center. They do not exist, but they will.

Multiple hands, without a blank spot to read. Hands woven into each other, blurring the vision, making it hard to see. An unveiled secret, a dark hole, simultaneously revealed and concealed.
