A single hand stretches up desperately from dark, still waters, a powerful symbol of hope in the midst of deepest despair. The dark, unfathomable waters symbolise the relentless depths of fear, loneliness and forlornness. The outstretched hand symbolises the will to survive, the unstoppable urge to escape the darkness. It struggles to reach the horizon, to find peace, while surrounded by the omnipresent sense of danger and uncertainty. The scene is rendered in dark, cool colour tones, with subtle reflections of light on the surface of the water, hinting at the quest for freedom and redemption. The contrast between light and shadow reinforces the emotional theme of the struggle for survival, the escape from inner demons and the search for inner peace.
