Kenji Nakahashi

My Left Hand depicts artist Kenji Nakahashi's own hand measured and proportioned by accompanying rulers and a wood frame. Playing with the idea of ‘the hand of the artist,’ a traditional indicator of skill and authorship, Nakahashi presents his hand as his primary means of self-expression, and thus, a conceptual self-portrait.
