WITH TWO HANDS Annette Soehatmo
Magic happens when you put a pair of hands to good work. Behind every pair of hands whether strong, delicate, or scarred, lies a story beneath; stories of hard work, endurance, creativity, and experiences. When two hands develop a craftsmanship, its physical characteristics adapt to function better. Some get rougher fingers, bigger knuckles, popped up veins, elongated fingers, et cetera. These photos symbolize the boundless works that our hands can create. Creations that will benefit, inspire, and impact others in positive ways. Though many times taken for granted and looked upon as routine, truly we are blessed daily
from the handiworks of others. This world revolves around the concept of trading and sharing that different hands produce. With two strong hands we get our cars fixed, and with two delicate hands we get our coffee served. All these hands put together is the reason for modernization. At times the works are only miniscule, but imagine a wolrd where we do not share what each of our two hands can create. Skyscrapers will never be built, there will be no music to soothe the soul, and art will be dead. May your two hands and mine never stop learning, creating, and continue working.
