Aoite: The Blue Hand

Aoite (The Blue Hand)

A personal gesture of memory, touch, and emotion.

“Aoite,” meaning Blue Hand, is an original mixed-media artwork inspired by the artist’s real left hand, created at true-to-life scale. The hand becomes a symbol of connection — a quiet language of feeling, memory, and presence.

Rendered in layered blues, bold lines, and symbolic markings, the hand carries hearts, directional signs, and rhythmic patterns that reflect inner emotion and movement. The surrounding shapes and expressive face suggest protection, warmth, and the invisible bonds that remain even when people are apart.

This piece invites the viewer to reflect on touch — what we hold, what we release, and what stays with us.
