When you are a baby, you instinctively bring your hands to your mouth. You chew on them until they’re soft and wrinkly from the spit, without knowing that they will one day be the hands that feed you. During the pandemic, we were asked to keep our hands away from our mouths, and even more so the hands of others. The mask was the tool that reminded us of this. The hands should avoid touching bodies while continuing to perform work-related activities.
I asked my friend, who taught me to whistle with acorn hats last year, to join me in this video to whistle together; in the sense of sharing, exchanging and learning from each other, with each other‘s hand.
