Description
This sculptural piece features a large, outstretched hand rendered in an ochre-toned earthenware material. The overall composition is simple yet striking, with the fingers and palm occupying the majority of the frame against a plain white background. The artist has employed a minimalist, abstract approach, focusing on the essential form and texture of the hand rather than detailed realism. The work evokes a sense of scale, presence, and quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to consider the symbolism and significance of the human hand. Without identifying any individuals, this contemporary sculpture encourages the audience to reflect on themes of connection, agency, and the human experience. ...
