Hearts and Bones

Christian Mushenko’s studio project is a mixture of heartfelt and confronting images that explore the power of touch.

Through this form of connection we call touch, we give attention, show empathy, and build closeness.

Through touch we carry out the most noble, as well as the lowest deeds of which humans are capable. Unspoken expressions, communicating more truth than the words we speak.

In 5 seconds of touch, all the worlds’ mysteries are felt. Hearts and bones become one.
