Description

An intense drawing of a point of view of a person with their hands extended from darkness. The hands reached out are shackled and have strong veins. The fingers and palms are illuminated by a bright yellow light that is shining in thick bright beams through a cell window, down a grey cracked brick wall. Through the cell window you see a bright yellow space, and an orange winged creature flying downwards.
