To me, this painting illustrates that we are never alone. Even when we are striving to achieve the seemingly impossible, help is available if we reach for it. Sometimes it’s virtual. Sometimes it’s knowledge passed down from previous generations. Sometimes it’s a strength that someone planted in our soul long ago. That metaphorical helping hand is always there. It’s part of the human condition. We require connection for our physical and mental health. We are social animals, and we rely on one another for survival.
