Hands

Melbourne, Australia

The hands of women in Almelo
As part of an empower project I organised in my capacity as a social worker an art project for disadvantaged women.
Painting your hands is reaching out to your hidden talents.
To honour their work I took pictures then of what they had been making.

(And today I took a picture of the these pictures.)
