As with my previous submission, I found a nature oriented motif forming as I experimented with some of the supplied images. The hand breaking through the boundaries of both a blank foreground and the restrictions of our present concepts and ideas inherent in our un-earth-friendly practices creates the strength in the hand as it helps to bring forth the growth of a tree. A bit trite in some ways conceptually but that's what came from the piece as I worked on it.
