‘Aysha’s touch isn’t here to give us a message, or a solution, it is here to show us that it’s beautiful and powerful to be messy, scared and emotional, it is not here to shed a light, it’s here to tell you that there is a seat near her in the dark and you are invited to sit near her as there is a comfort in a holding a hand in the darkness.’
Tamer Nafar
