In Remittance Givers, 38 cast hands violently spill from a luggage bag.


Thirty‑eight
Scattered like travelers of night.
Open, closed. Left and right.
Moments of joy, presence, and belonging.

Thirty‑eight
Currencies of longing.
Giving hands. Begging hands.
Fragments of touch, a lack of belonging.

Thirty‑eight
Billion sent across the seas.
Families home. All is bound.
A violent spillage, hands fall to the ground.
