LEE Jinju, Discontinuouscontinuity

Hands speak volumes. A hand tightly clenched around something, a hand wrapped in bandages, a hand revealing blue veins beneath translucent skin, glossy nails perfectly manicured, a hand scarred from an unknown moment—perhaps hands speak more than the face ever could. One artist has made a name for herself by capturing such expressive hands in her work: LEE Jinju, a 45-year-old painter trained in traditional Korean painting.
