A link between humans and ceramics, a bond symbolised by two hands clasping, a union that is capable of harnessing energy and creating forms and project of all kinds, evoked by the distinctive, sophisticated texture of the ceramic tiles that clad the hands like a second skin.

Thanks to the use of bright colours in the image, the observer’s gaze is drawn immediately to the hands, which stand out from the white background for their texture.
