The concept behind this project is based on the old practice of tying a string around one's finger as a reminder of something that needs to be done. I often get frustrated with the student life, cramming as much data into a given amount of time as possible. I wanted to express the idea of living with our hands (represntative of our minds) constantly tied up with things to remember, so I connected Deborah's fingers on her right hand with one piece of string. It is meant to look natural, because we have had to accept this lifestyle of constantly storing up data, being preoccupied with many things at one time. I tried to photograph my model, Deborah in a way that portrayed her going about daily activites oblivious to the fact that her hand is slightly dibiltated.
