Hands
Carolina Loyola-Garcia, 2021-2023
Hands is a series that was an ongoing work-of-progress from 2021 to 2023. Hands are a unique trait of our species. The texture of the skin, the details of the corrugated nature of knuckles, bones showing through the skin, the protruding of pulsating veins, the length of our thumbs in relationship to the fingers, tension, age…
Carolina Loyola-Garcia captures the beauty of hands, her parents’ hands being a central piece of the series. Through these photos she honors the love and support that they gifted to her. Through these photos she holds their hands, in love and gratitude.
