Design Challenge: Ideation and the atmosphere is the hardest part of this project. In the presentation of the picture, the shape of the hands must be placed harmoniously in the picture without losing the beauty.
Research: The first thing is to study how to create an uncomfortable atmosphere. Eyes and hands are good parts for expressing emotions. The unnatural feeling of combining these two makes the picture more attractive and intriguing.

This series deals with issues of discomfort and stress in everyday life. We all care about how others view us, this has become the same as our invisible living standards.

Operation Flow: It will be displayed in a gallery, and these paintings can be a tool for conversation.
