A piece of artwork depicting two forearms extending down to open hands against a dark background. The hands have text written on them, with the left hand saying "I felt my life with both my hands" and the right hand saying "To see if it was there." The image has a rough, textured appearance and is bordered by a lighter frame that resembles aged paper.
