Task #4: Alex Walker

My inspiration for this one was obviously Olaf's painted people series. While looking at the photos I struggled to find meaning in them, and while some contained possible metaphors or recognizable references, some of them seemed to aim for the exact opposite; for the photographs themselves to be the object, not an interpretation of a separate truth. With a similar strategy and an intentional lack of concept behind me, I set forward to paint a couple hands, compose and make this.
A few of you asked me about it in the studio and speculated on possible themes or higher-meanings, but I assure you, it means whatever you would like it mean. It is only itself.
