Touching
Reflections and Aquarelles on Touch
Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat
We unfortunately live in a world of increasing derision. The age of Imagine, the age of the brother and sisterhood of mankind seems at times slipping into the distance.
All the more reason to evoke and instill love, peace and understanding when and where we can. This then is the mission of this small and humble book.
The theme of this book, touching, came to me during the seeming endless Covid isolation 2019 – 2022. As everyone, I missed my loved ones, family and friends. I missed closeness and the warmth of touching.
Inspired by the iconic and gentle sculpture of Constantin Brancusi’s The Kiss, this little book explores and reflects on the theme of touching in words and pictures in the forms of aquarelles. May you be inspired to touch physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and spiritually again and anew in your life.
