Title: Polpastrelli
Hands tell stories of who we are, those we've touched, what we’ve built, prayed for, held close, or let go. They carry the marks of labour and tenderness, creation and destruction. Our identity is written in their lines.
This mesmerising video traces the artist’s journey through gesture, a quiet invitation for the viewer to connect. Movements unfold without fixed meaning, open to each person’s interpretation.
It is a small dance, delicate and deliberate, that lives equally in silence or with music of your choosing. Each encounter becomes its own experience, shifting with mood, memory, and imagination.
Location: Venice, Italy; Bristol, UK
Creative Experience
I strive to provide intimacy through one-to-one dialogues and meaningful connections with the larger community through engaging projects. It is like a lace formed by different patterns and textures, where threads are unique voices of different people intertwined together to create a shared response. Often, the pattern starts with a particular colour or material, as we connect and collaborate, new colours appear that none of us have foreseen.
