Part of the artist's new hands series of drawing with charcoal and coloured pencils on paper (2024). The artist reflects on the power of gesture and the importance of body language to express feelings and emotions. It's a theme which has always fascinated her and she has been investigated this particular subject throughout her entire artistic career using different mediums. In this series, Quaresima creates a more uneven surface to draw on scratching the paper and making marks with sand paper, giving also a general movement to the composition. Only few details are on focus, while everything else is just a blur. This personal technique allows the artist to give the viewer the illusion that the sitters are either emerging or disappearing in this vortex of lines. The hands are depicted crossed in front of the body. Quaresima likes the dichotomy between the meaning of the body language behind the pose and physical pose itself; because even if crossed arms may make a person come off as distant, angry, or even stressed or defensive, the shape that the artist is also able to see looking at them is close to the infinity symbol (recalled in the title itself). In this perspective, Quaresima likes to enlight a positive interpretation of a comforting, self-soothing pose too.
