Touching Piece This piece of work is oil on paper, with the Hebrew letters sewn using wool. In this way the letters, which have always been used as a reference detached from reality, return to the tactile, come out of their two-dimensional representation thanks to the thickness of the seam on the paper. The Hebrew word means ‘to touch’, and at the very moment in which it indicates this gesture, it can also be touched: it is an invitation to give life to the letters. The Hebrew language is chosen for its still current symbolic and demiurgic value.
