acrylic on wood

A personal piece reflecting the fracturing of both my wrists spontaneously when I was 7 years old. The blue casts present on my wrists restricted my day-to-day life at school for 3 weeks, but felt like forever to me. When May 5th came, I was freed from my blue shackles. The human body is amazing when healing itself.
