Many Hands
Sharing my dream project 🌟
I’ve always been fascinated by hands—each tells a unique story, especially those facing challenges like tremors, arthritis, or loss of digits. My dream journey is to draw and animate these hands, capturing their character and the stories they hold.
Through slow drawing techniques and observation, I’ll delve into the intricacies of each hand, taking the time to truly appreciate its beauty and resilience. These hands are not just tools; they’re symbols of identity, strength, and perseverance.
My goal is to bring these stories to life through animation, showcasing the hands in action with tools or objects that connect them to their users’ passions and trades. It’s a celebration of diversity, resilience, and the profound connection between identity and the use of our hands.
Why this dream, idea, curiosity matters…
”I believe my dream of drawing hands is worth pursuing because it’s more than just art to me—it’s a way to connect with others and share my own story. As someone who faces challenges with my own hands due to tremors, drawing, making things, and teaching art have been both a passion and a struggle.
By depicting hands, particularly those facing similar challenges like tremors, arthritis, or loss of digits, I not only celebrate their resilience but also connect with individuals who share similar experiences. Through my art, I can share my journey of overcoming obstacles and finding beauty and strength in imperfection.
Moreover, this dream allows me to grow as an artist and as a person. It challenges me to explore new techniques and deepen my understanding of the human experience. And by amplifying these stories through animation, I hope to inspire empathy, foster inclusivity, and leave a lasting impact on those who view my work.
Ultimately, my dream of drawing hands is a deeply personal and meaningful pursuit. It’s a way for me to both express myself creatively and contribute to a larger conversation about diversity, resilience, and the power of art to connect us all.”
