I hope you like it.
Enjoy :)

This is really quite awesome! I love the colors, that purple on the palm in particular contrasts nicely with the black of the rest of the hand! Very nice work!

Intriguing piece. My first impression is that their is a degree of chaos or disorder happening here. This seems in contrast to the theme of the work "Reaching for the Heavens", which is usually synonymous with refined order.

Of course, it's not clear if the title is talking about the religious, literal or metaphorical "heavens." Nonetheless there is a common thread that I think speaks to all three and that is the desire to reach for something that is beyond our grasp. The seemingly futile, yet never-ending quest to reach beyond ourselves. We persist and we persist even though it tears us a part or dissolves our very being. This is what I see represented in the hand that is not only reaching out, but also coming apart.Of course the very nature of this kind of art as being a static, frozen image adds an interesting footnote to this interpretation. We see the hand only partially dissolved. Hope remains and the quest continues.
