Fingerprints

Fingerprint, Thumbprint, Prints

No two fingerprints are alike, so they naturally point to identity: what makes you you, and whether others recognize it. Seeing your own prints on things reflects an awareness of the effect your touch has on people and places. Someone else's prints on your belongings may mean their influence on your life is stronger than you'd like. A dusty surface covered in old prints can recall everyone who has passed through a home. Studying a print up close comes from curiosity about what sets one person apart from another.
