The true meaning of our words are expressed though our body language. Hands communicate expression in a subtle, subconscious sense of interpretation. Our hands express the emotion and thoughts that we cannot convey with our words. Visually, hands themselves are expressions of who we are. Their physical characteristics show the wear and tear of the individual. Some people believe that the palm of your hand tells the story of your future. The focus of this concentration is visual expression through the body. I was adopted as an infant, however, I don’t feel disconnected from my parents. I photographed my mother’s hands to represent my relationship with her visually. The contrast and deepness of her hands demonstrate the complex relationship between mother and daughter. The clearest photos are of my own hands. As someone who has a more introverted personality, I feel that I know myself very well. I know who I am and I know myself the best. These photos featuring only my hands show clarity in myself. These photos are the visual representations of my relationship with my parents and my relationship with myself.
