In the metal frame of the revolving globe, there is a character covered
by a piece of cloth. A hand separated from the body dangles a carrot
and an arm spreads out a book and an eye chart, but the character
cannot clearly see these movements around him. The meaning of the
title, "you are certainly not alone," involves a sarcastic comment
of the artist on this situation. Arms and hands are images that often
appear in Barsamian 's sculptures. The hand is one of the most expressive
parts of the human body and a symbol of human action. It also appears
in other Barsamian works like ≪Mother May I≫,"Dipping Digits (Always
Gets Wet)" and "Two Step".
