The fourth piece in my Gesture series, a series of works that use imagery of my own hands.  I start with a basic concept, one that by definition is concise and easily understood.  However, these concepts often are viewed differently by each of us, as our experiences and point of view greatly affect our interpretation and personal meaning of these ideas.  From this simple concept, I use the images of hands to build upon the idea and make it my own.

Eternity represents the struggles and inherent natures of man. Some people try to help others, while other take advantage of the people that need their help. There are also some that may appear altruistic, but in actuality are masking their true intentions. Despite laws and despite religion, this duality exists as a basic component of human nature, and will persist throughout time.
