Title
The Invisible Hand
Description
The struggle between heaven and hell. The central figure, encased in a glass jar, faces the viewer, questioning her choices. Though her body leans towards hell, an invisible hand guides her, representing faith. Floating in an ocean, she is both protected and conflicted. Her brown colour reflects race and the ability to sculpt herself. Surrealism and expressionism depict a journey of self-discovery.
