The installation serves as a reflection on the decline of craftsmanship in Portugal and globally. Within the installation, one encounters repetitive hand movements intrinsic to traditional craftsmanship. The installation encourages the viewer to reflect on the consequences of neglecting tactile skills in the midst of digital progress. It raises the question of possible losses in this transition and underlines the importance of preserving manual skills in an increasingly digitalised world.
