THEIR HANDS

If you could only see people’s hands and nothing more, could you tell if they were smiling, if they were sad or happy or filled with content? Could you tell if they were young or old, if they were in love or lonely?

Hands do talk. They accompany voices and sometimes they even replace them. They look like the ones they belong to.

We wrote a love story for two pairs of hands, we recreated the most common scenes of life, the sad or happy ones. We imagined this story frame where we could not see lovers’ faces or bodies, just their hands or parts of them. Just their hands moving around, acting as a consequence of feelings, sometimes more eloquent than faces or words.

We see jewellery as identity marks, we use it to mark moments in life, to recall memories from places we love, to mark our own emotional and social changes.

Watching Ana and Vlad interact between shots made us feel like we were watching a movie. While, at the same time, being in the movie. Or like peeping. What happened in the shots transferred to reality, they looked as if it was just the two of them, as if we were not part of their game, not even present. We managed to capture their connection in a series of polaroids that we cannot not share with you.
