The photograph Les meves mans després de tocar coses brutes (My Hands after Holding Dirty Things) reproduces two actual-size hands. The common phrase “to get your hands dirty” serves as a reference to the misuse of power. The dirt on a pair of hands is open to many interpretations: from the reference of manual work to everything unclean that can be detected in today’s society.
