Arturo Barrera (Chicago, USA): Escaping Death, 2008
The hand in my print represents the spirit (death) returning or being reborn for the day. The black and white colors in the hand represent life and death. The barbed wire represents the spirit (death) being restrained from returning to their loved ones. The ground (dirt) represents the place where we go/what we become when we die.
