The series Touch is a serie consisting of 16 drawings in which our inner suffering and need for human contact are made visible through body language. In most of the drawings, a hand is present that suggests touching the figure.  The drawings invites the viewer to look inward and reflect on their own vulnerable moments.  To the need to be touched, to receive compassion, or to give. It resulted in this installation which was on view at Noordkade, Veghel.

Accompanying me in this process is the theory of Levinas in which he describes what’s essential about human beings—beyond our rational and practical capacities—is the fact that we find ourselves infinitely responsible in the face of the “Other.”
