Artist Statement

As we all know coordination is a huge part of our life Without the ability to have proper coordination between different body parts especially hands and eyes, doing simple tasks may become impossible Therefore, I wanted to convey this in my work by comparing the coordination between my eyes and hands while I was traveling to when I was at home.
