About The Work
Aquatint etching
Small edition of 4
Hahnemühle paper, 200 g, white
The hand-like form reaching toward the smoke, cloud, or explosion becomes a symbol of human curiosity in its rawest form. The movement has already begun, and the question Can I Touch It? arrives almost too late.
The red is intense, pulsing, and warm, charged with the energy of desire and action. The blue is deep an still, balancing the composition with a sense of distance or reflection.
The work carries the same spirit as creation itself: the inability to resist. Impulses, curiosity, and the urge to come close, preferably with the whole body. Can I Touch It? is not just a question; it is a reminder of the glowing, joyful force that drives us to create without hesitation. A desire to touch, and to be touched.
