Inspired by The Art of Gathering, these images depict a get-together that is Adora’s world: the authentic split-second reaction to something as ordinary – and beautiful – as gift giving. The search and preparation for the perfect gift for people who matter is one language of love we all know how to speak.
It is in the girlfriend’s soft gaze at her lover, with boxes already untied.
It is in the sister’s anticipation as she hugs the gift her brother hands to her.
It is in the tight grasp of the father’s hand on his daughter’s arm as she proudly helps open the present on his lap.
Without words, there is confidence in giving and excitement in receiving because the box says it all.
