Gesture V (The Circle Game)

"Gesture V” captures a shape instantly familiar to those who grew up swapping punches and laughter on schoolyards and sidewalks, mostly those with brothers. The classic circle hand gesture—held below the waist—was the quiet trigger in a harmless childhood (and sometimes adulthood) prank. Don't look.

It’s a moment encoded in memory, passed through generations before memes ever had servers to live on.

As with all works in the Human Touch collection, this was drawn by hand as a tribute to real moments, made by real people. It’s a reminder that even our jokes—simple, silly, human—are worth preserving.
