Original artwork description:

“The Hands We No Longer See”

They governed, they divided, they judged.
We watched — and in some way, allowed.
Then they vanished into silence,
but left us to pay the price.
This painting is about power that hides in plain sight —
and about those of us who live with its consequences.

Materials used:

acrylic,oil,pastel on linen canvas
