Common Ground

I wanted these joined hands to feel like a quiet promise. Two different bodies meet above a small globe, wrapped in a bright shared fabric. The piece speaks about equality and brotherhood without pretending difference disappears. It asks what might change if care became stronger than separation.

Story fragmentCan difference become the place where we meet?

I placed the two hands at the center because equality begins with contact, not with a slogan. One hand is pale, the other dark, and they rise together above a small globe. A bright rainbow cloth wraps around them, serving not just as a shared promise, but as a true celebration of all identities, perspectives, and paths of human connection. The black and white forms on either side suggest the old habit of dividing people into fixed sides. I wanted the colors to interrupt that habit and show that brotherhood is not sameness, but the courage to hold difference without turning it into distance. Emmanuel Levinas wrote about how the other person calls us into responsibility, and that very idea guided me here. The world below the hands is small, reminding me that our shared ground is fragile.
