"Touch" symbolizes the unity and strength of community through the language of touch. The hand extends gently upward, its fingertip lightly touching the ceiling, capturing the collective spirit of reaching for something greater. The mirror-polished surface reflects viewers, inviting them to see themselves within its form, while large, open spaces create a sense of lightness despite its two-ton weight. These voids remind us that community is defined not by rigid structures but by the open spaces between us, where empathy, connection, and shared purpose unite us as one.
