Reaching for What’s There

“Reaching for What’s There” delves into the idea of a person exploring for what’s in their heart— what emotions are they feeling (or not) and why. The hand used to show a person trying to actually “feel” what their heart is telling them, representing a person who intellectualizes their feelings. The issue is, you can’t intellectually determine emotions. Emotions aren’t meant to be fully understood, they’re meant to be felt. Using a combination of illustration, photography, and embroidery to represent this abstract idea.
