  • Categories: Abstract
A torso is in the middle of the canva, with it's arm extending ourwards. There is an array of arms below it following the motion upward. There are hands reaching out to the torso's extended arm, and reaching for it's back. The arms and torso are in shades of greens, pinks, purples, and oranges. Laid on top of the canvas is a sheet of clear acetate with gestrual marks in black tracing the rendered colorful forms underneath.
