Imagine a pair of hands, cast in plaster, their palms raised upward in a haunting, eternal prayer. The hands are meticulously detailed, with every bone and vein subtly etched into the surface, giving them a disturbingly lifelike quality. The plaster is overlaid with metallic red foil, which, rather than shimmering with a sense of divine radiance, glistens with a sickly, almost blood-like sheen.
The hands' positions suggest an offering or plea, but the overall effect is macabre: the red foil catches the light in a way that makes the palms look as if they are drenched in a sinister, otherworldly blood. The juxtaposition of the innocent gesture with the unsettling color creates an eerie sense of dread, as if the hands are not merely reaching out but are eternally ensnared in a grotesque ritual or plea for something far darker than a divine presence.
