The artwork depicts a powerful and evocative image of a hand gripping barbed wire. The hand shows signs of wear and resilience, with a tattoo-like number visible on the wrist, hinting at a historical or narrative significance. The barbed wire adds a harsh, restrictive element to the piece. There is a cloth draped around the wrist, suggesting a struggle or hardship. The background is an abstract mix of muted colors, predominantly browns and grays, which enhance the somber and intense mood of the artwork.
