"The First Tool" (Finger Pointing)

18x24
Ink & Acrylic on Paper
 
 
This piece, created with black ink and acrylic on white paper, centers on the hand — humanity’s first tool. More than a form, it represents our ability to build, create, and connect. With our hands, we have shaped the world: making fire, crafting shelter, painting stories, and reaching for one another. Rendered in stark contrast, the hand is shown in a powerful, evocative pose, beautifully capturing the essence of human creativity and connection.
