Artist's Statement

Twenty-five healthcare workers were asked to give a heartfelt hug to one of these papers — for as long as they wanted, and as tight as they felt like. They were thinking positive thoughts and carried a smile on their faces during the process. These gray papers carry the marks of these hugs on this wall. The wall carries these hugs proudly.
