Touching Strangers
|
| Sometimes art moves us by revealing life as it is. Other times it inspires by showing life as it could be. At first blush, photographer Richard Renaldi’s project clearly falls into the second category. He shoots portraits of people who were strangers to each other only moments earlier, making some manner of warm, embracing physical contact with each other. Some of the portraits affect a sense of romantic intimacy, others simply express companionship; but they all present the subjects in relationship that did not exist moments earlier. The magic? After this experience, the subjects all report a degree of emotional transformation from the experience. Watch and be touched. |

This article from the Greater Good Science Center suggests how teachers, parents, and anybody who spends time with children can help nurture a sense of awe in their lives. { read more }
