“This piece has a lot of sentimental value to me because when my relatives were sick with many people came to help us. The broken hand represents our family when we thought there was nobody there to help us, but we were proven wrong that’s where the other hand comes in, in our times of hardship there was always someone there to help us and it made me realize someone is always for you.”
