Huw Morgan

This project presents a series of human hands and precious objects. Each subject was asked to bring a small treasured object and hold it in their hands for the camera. The subjects ranged in ages from 6 to 84 years old. Everyone’s hands in these photographs are unique and tell a story about their life and life’s work. The objects provide a window into their hearts. I asked each subject to write a short description about the object and its meaning. These are used as the titles of the works.
