The piece features resin-cast fingers that rhythmically tap and drum when turned on via a switch. It is designed as a kinetic "useless machine," mimicking a disembodied hand fidgeting.

The sculpture is crafted from materials including cast iron resin, steel, and a small motor. Features five lifelike, dark resin-cast fingers molded with realistic skin wrinkles and fingernail details. The fingers are attached to flat metal bars linked to a central rotating camshaft. Components include a metallic cylindrical motor, a drive belt, pulleys, and a simple toggle switch mounted on a black base.

When switched on, the motor drives the shaft, causing the fingers to rhythmically tap the surface: The movement mimics the common, repetitive human habit of impatiently drumming one's fingers on a table. See less
