The glasswork 'Touch' (2009) of Hreinn Fridfinnsson could be characterized as an ephemeral object due to its fragility and transparency. It has been touched by the
artist's hand apparently with wet paint in the colours blue, green, yellow, violet and red. It reads as a symbolic act of all the touches done by billions of individuals,
a universal human urge that will last until eternity. Fundamental colours that refer to white light and to elementary colours emphasise this continuity of human condition
to relate to nature, and the way we look at it and how behave in that same nature being part of it. During millennia many touches have been made and in that sense during
the ages to come with touch after touch nothing will change this human drive.
