| Signage: | The artist evokes human connection with a powerful central image of two pairs of hands united at the wrists by bangles inspired by the artist’s own personal adornment. One pair is shown in the classic pose of a firm handshake, gesture of greeting and agreement, the other with fingers interlaced, as a symbol of unity and friendship. The hands are framed by figures arranged in groups, representing human diversity choosing to exercise their right to associate. |
