Two oversized hands join together to pierce against the wind. Their stretched fingers indicate determination and strength. They shoot off a Corten steel column and are barely touching it. 

Horizontally, the hands seem like a pair of exotic leaves pushing forward and upward; vertically, they change to flames bending into the wind. Both hint at fantasy powered by an inner mysterious force.
