Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Photographs by William & Mary student Class of 2023 Sarah Walker: "Long exposure photographs of hands using a Canon T3 DSLR on manual mode. One hand is mine and the other is Sally Calengor, taken using window light and a white sheet on October 6,2020 in DuPont Hall. While movement of the hands is obvious, it is ambiguous as to whether they are coming together or pulling apart. One hand looks to be reaching to the other in need of support but they are not able to touch. I think many have felt the loss of physical affection throughout the pandemic, along with the loneliness and frustration it brings. We are all craving the day when we will be able to high-five, hold hands, and hug without fear of spreading a deadly virus."
