Hand Still
Hand Still is a participatory art project created to support well-being. Participants combine their hands and fingers to suggest a landscape or a creature, photograph the pose, give the image a title, and share the result on social networks with a common tag. Viewing the shared works and creating new ones is intended to increase creativity. Hand Still applies four factors linked to well-being: self-actualization and growth, connection and gratitude, a positive and optimistic outlook, and independence and self-identity.
