Belal Khaled’s Hands Tell Stories series began while living in a tent outside the morgue at Nasser hospital in Gaza after his house was destroyed. The tent overlooked an area where bodies were being gathered after the morgue reached full capacity. Khaled began documenting hands.

This is some work that I don't often share as it's not the style that I'm best known for, and it also covers medical themes.
It does however show that I can draw anatomically correct hands

My habit is quaint, I know, and there are downsides – deciphering my scribbly handwriting is like trying to communicate with the dead. And I’m accumulating piles of smudgy notebooks and stubs of pencils that I can’t bring myself to throw away. But I’m beginning to think all this is more important than I first anticipated.
A #writer friend recently posted that after updating her version of #Microsoft #Word, it invited itself to collaborate on her novel in progress, offering to work on 2,000 words at a time. Instead she workshopped her panic with fellow writers who helped her *unplug the tech*. But this is where we’re at. The question blooms by the day – how are we to know if any #Creative text, #novel, #essay, #poem or #ShortStory is AI assisted, or even #authored? In time, will it be impossible to tell?”

Hands say everything without a word... and erotism begins in the fingertips.

Hunger.
Drawing - Ink And Charcoal On Paper.
Hunger is a drawing in ink and charcoal showing black hands holding a belly glowing white with hunger, a reflection on increasing hunger where I live in Brazil, after hunger being practically eradicated over the last thirty years.

Cold.
Drawing - Charcoal On Paper.
Arms crossed, hands gripping upper arms, attempting to warm up in the cold of the night. A shirt or coat would help.

Hands express what words can't describe.

Just made a connection. In the movie, Close Encounters, the French character at one point makes a series of hand gestures to the aliens.
I'm not 100% sure, but this makes sense that what he was doing was showing the Kodaly hand signs for the tone sequence.
