The pandemic had created an opportunity for On Hands to reach a specific audience who were confined to their homes. The film tells the remarkable story of 20 artists whose essential tools are their hands, evoking a sense of haptic satisfaction that goes beyond what society currently values. The idea for On Hands came about organically after the filmmaker noticed the discomfort some children exhibited when she applied Mehndi to their hands, despite it being a cultural norm in her native India. This led her to contemplate the "tyranny of technology" and the importance of using our hands for our well-being. The film also touches upon the Korean concept of 손맛 Son-mat ( Hand taste), which refers to the unique flavor that comes from the labor and love of the person making the food. The Look Here! The project gave the filmmaker the opportunity to turn her idea into a reality, and while the initial visual focus was close-ups of hands at work, she wanted to delve deeper into the humanistic aspect of the makers/creators. By documenting their work with hands, the film explores the satisfaction it provides and how it redefines what success means. In a world where technology mediates our experiences, On Hands brings our attention back to the essential act of using our hands. The film's deliberate pace and intimate portrayal of an ethnically diverse community in Milwaukee encourage viewers to reflect on what is truly meaningful. The pandemic has made many people refocus on simple pleasures such as baking and knitting, and On Hands is a timely reminder of the power and importance of using our hands. The film also subtly challenges media portrayals of Milwaukee by showcasing its diversity without overt discussion. In summary, On Hands is a remarkable film that celebrates the importance of using our hands and the satisfaction it brings. It is a timely reminder of the essential role hands play in our lives and a challenge to the way society values technology over tactile experiences.
