I noticed my hands would move unconsciously when I draw, and begin to think about the relation between hands and memories. This idea developed into the core identity of my work, an idea where people are given different pair of hands depending on their daily tasks.
In animation, hands are delivered to people every morning. Delivered hands consist of habits, knowledge, and thoughts of each job for people to handle every day. With the help of hands, people can adapt easily to each task.
