Home means different things to everyone, but it is a memory that cannot be erased. Especially for foreigners who work hard in other places, as long as they think of their elderly parents at home and a whole table waiting for warm dishes, Tears will begin to well up in your eyes, but you can't hold back from crying, because no matter how hard you work, it won't be even one ten thousandth of the hard work your parents put in raising you.

Artist Dan Stockholm created a series of plaster sculptures "By Hand" in which he bent his palms into cup shapes and integrated them into pieces of red bricks. Some red bricks are hands, and some are parts of palms or fingers. His creative inspiration came from the video recording of him touching every inch of his fathers house with his own hands after his death in 2013.

The gesture of holding hands in the work seems to express gratitude to the father for raising him. Children play the role of being given along the way. The artist hopes to reincarnate the fathers contribution through gestures through abstract re-presentation.
