“A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations.”
- Milan Kundera (Czech Novelist, Playwright and Poet, b.1929)
This past summer as I traveled to Shanghai and Beijing, China I explored the gestures and the body language of individuals in groups and have sought to capture the ethereal quality and the aesthetic beauty of “ordinary” and “simple” gestures.
