Voli me tangere

Voli me tangere, Drawing
Voli me tangere
Charcoal and graphie on shoellershammer paper, only hatching, 200 hours of execution. "Voli me tangere" is based on a famous phrase spoken by the resurrected Christ to the Magdalene who was waiting for him outside the tomb: "Noli me tangere". In this work there is an invitation from that woman to "touch her". She is there, hidden between light and shadow, waiting for someone to come and offer his hand. Touch is the key to the human relationship, the exchange that takes place between two people. Touching this woman is an invitation to find the courage to undergo the ritual of dying to one's old self in order to be reborn, to be resurrected into a new inner life. Do you have the courage to accept this sacred invitation?
