A sculpture should have or convey some motion.

I think every artist has at least thought of creating their hand. Here is mine … lol.
I wanted to create some motion within the sculpture, so I imagined my hand coming up from the rock. I also found a product that comes in a metallic paste, (this one has 24K gold) so I incorporated that into the sculpture as well to add to the feeling of motion coming up from the rock base.
This sculpture is made from Brazilian Soapstone.
