“The hands at the center of this work symbolize unity and coexistence; they emphasize how solidarity can transcend barriers of race, religion and opinion. The difference in skin tone highlights diversity while the books represent shared knowledge – a key to building equality and mutual respect. My artwork is an invitation to embrace each other’s contributions for collective progress.”
