I created this in 1998 and gave it to a very special friend. After many years, for various reasons, it was returned to me in 2022 in pristine condition. Back then, I had a dream of holding her hand, which I then drew while we were on the beach in Dahab, Egypt, and later incorporated into this final piece. When I created this, it felt like there was an outside force, an energy, that held my hand in the same way my hand is holding hers in the drawing. Enjoy the explanation of the story below and all the symbolism in this picture.
