By detaching the head and the hands from the rest of the body, and by isolating the figure from the surroundings by using black clothes and black background, I wanted to convey a feeling of double alienation - a person feels/looks detached, disjointed from the rest of the world, but also from itself: even its own body parts are not tied together within one body. Such person could even ask itself: are these hands/arms/legs etc. my own, is this head my own or somebody else's (i.e. has someone else taken control over my thoughts and doings)?
The result is this puppet-like being, that looks as if it's being controlled by someone else, from a long distance.
The inspiration for the title came from a Tears For Fears song The Way You Are (,,These fingers aren't my fingers, these hands are not my hands'').
