Hands tied in front of me. My palms touch my arms. My head turns right-left and looks. My base is stable and fixed. It is also asymmetrical. My gaze looks for what I am waiting for.

ADJUSTMENR OF HAIR:

With my left hand I take a stride of my hair and twist it. The rest of the body walks normally.

FEAR OF THEFT:

With my left hand I extend the head of my arm and turn it inwards. The elbow bends towards the center of the spine and my hand turns counter clockwise.
