THE COMFORT HAND FAMILY
The Comfort Hand Family is a handmade ceramic project that carries personal soul and positive empowerment. Each family member comes with a birth certificate that documents an individual, ordinary conversation on a particular day. Every hand, made of ceramic, is hand-created and carrying warmth, emotion and personal aesthetics. Like us humans, each piece is one of a kind.
Put yourself in good hands.

THE COMFORT HAND FAMILY
Hands have a soul of their own. They describe a very organic and personal signal. They represent a specific expression and emotion of a person at a particular moment. Each hand is unique, so are the palm line, finger, nail and fingerprint. Thus no two hand gestures can be made identical. Hands are also extremely sensitive because they contain more sensory neutrons than some other parts of our body, making them an exceptionally dynamic subject to interact with and observe.
Hands are caring. They often come as a pair and they like to keep each other a company. They give a sign of physical contact and are sometimes associated with intimate relationships with someone (or something) very special. They can also be considered as a symbol of concern and care. They resemble a warm indication of being touched gently or hugged passionately. They carry the urge of holding someone (or something) tight and not letting go. Hands sometimes convey a message of acceptance and welcoming. They make us feel more secure to open up ourselves and be honest. Some people have developed unexplainable connection or obsession with hands that they communicate with hands like their partners.
Hands empower ourselves. They speak a physical language that responds to our thoughts. Hands, in particular when gripping, support us to be more determined and confident about ourselves and the decisions to be made. They encourage us to take actions and move forward. Hands also carry the power of creations and they can build amazing things from scratch. They motivate us to make positive changes and impacts starting with our bare hands.
