Video 'I am in your Hands' [From the Series: Words don't come easy]
0'28



We see a woman through a window; she is out of aural reach. She asks a question via the gestures of her hands. It is very probably that you will understand her inquiry. She is standing outside and contacts the spectator inside a space. There is a transparent barrier. The point of view is the perspective of the person who is watching her.

'I am in your hands' is part of the series ‘Words don’t come easy’. In which the theme is language as form of problematic barrier as well as empowering instrument. Language is a way to express ourselves: our character, thoughts, feelings, and presence.
