The Cure of touch project started a year ago when Ieva_bee Artist and Ksenia Fedorova Fine Art Photographer joined our thoughts and ideas of how humans are integrated into Nature and how everything is interconnected. All this was possible and easy to deliver because of that time when we could touch and communicate without fear of anything.
The cure starts with understanding. The action of touch begins with the skin. We may not be aware of this, but many of us need to correct some aspects of our relationship with the help of our bodies.
The key to understanding how our bodies feel is to be found in the simple ability to give and receive touch.
The classic work of Ashley Montagu “Touch”(1986) describes how touching the skin affects the physical health of people of all ages, from birth. Research shows that children who are more likely to be touched have a higher survival capacity than those who are not.
Touch also facilitates empathy, it promotes self-disclosure.
Communication with nature is a moment when we not only hear the micro- and macrocosm around us, but also our own inner voice. We smell the clean air, when we touch, we build a personal relationship with what is around us.
Communicating with nature strengthens social bonds and makes us much less angry or irritated.
Now, rethinking it, we understand how it is no coincidence that it ends only now because soon after we ended the photoshoot the lockdown happened, and all kinds of restrictions due to COVID-19, a series of moves, and changes.
This project now could tell about the importance of social contacts, that only by uniting, we will be able to end this difficult period. Let the communication now turn into virtual forms and the Merton Art Festival got adopted to the situation itself and got virtual too.
It is necessary to share your creativity, be inspired by other works, and rejoice for other success to continue.
