In my twenty years as a maker—first with steel, then with hair—I learned that hands are not just for doing work; they are for holding space. Whether I was cradling a client’s head in the salon basin or carefully holding a finished tool, the gentleness of the grip mattered just as much as the strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI created this piece to capture that precise moment of openness. The hands are rising, not to grab or to take, but to receive. They form a cup, a vessel waiting to be filled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing the \"bank note\" engraving style, I focused heavily on the symmetry. The thousands of cross-hatched lines on the left arm mirror those on the right, creating a visual rhythm that feels meditative. It is a drawing about balance—reminding us that in order to receive peace, we must first open our hands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(The Engraver’s Edition)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Classic Edition (Studio White): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStripped of all colour, this version is pure form.
