"Throughout history, palm readers have chosen the hand as their symbolic link to the psyche and soul, as their raft through time. After all, the hand is action, it digs roads and builds cities, it throws spears and diaper babies." Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses pg 116
Our hands play such an important role in our lives. They get us ready in the morning, they open the door so we can walk outside into our lives. This piece is supposed to demonstrate the raft of time seen through the hands. There are layers of photos from my childhood that can be seen inside my hands.
