With these two hands

'With these two hands' is a video of Donald Trump’s hands during his presidential inauguration speech of 2017. Donald Trump is absent. The video is silent. All that remains are Trump’s two hands, cropped on a split screen that moves from left to right with every gesticulation of his speech. Focusing closely on the power of gesture and the humility of hands, 'With these two hands' is a meditation, at the dawn of Trump’s presidency, on the haunting spectre everything these hands are capable of.
