ARTWORK
GESTES QUOTIDIENS
(Daily gestures)
15 years ago, my father became paralyzed due to an accident. The loss of his motor skills, especially for his hands, deeply impacted me and question everything that would normally be taken for granted. Basic gestures became inaccessible to him without assistance. As to conjure my obsession with his loss, I asked my mother to carry out these daily gestures.
