I originally did a smaller version of this image in art therapy, in response to dealing with my gran's death. The hand symbolises my gran, and the fetus symbolises me. When she was alive, I felt like the hand was closed, she protected me and gave me enough love to get me through any difficulty. Now that her physical self is no longer here, the hand has opened and exposed me. I am now learning how to live without having her with me and her death has been my birth into a new world with out her. My gran's passing has been a very painful and diffucult thing for me to deal with and I am still trying to grasp the concept of death everyday. This image has really helped me visualise what I am going through on an emotional level.
