The video shows my mother's hand movements at work. She made 15 years of piecework, in a work station at an eyeglasses factory. The work processes of her hands and feet during work can be seen in an abstract form, without objects and machines. It's hard to figure out what she's doing right now. The movement of her hands is reminiscent of magical hand movements. She performs magic.
