Prompt 4: Favorite Body Part, relief printing

The purpose of this prompt was to make a relief print inspired by a body part, by using simple tools. The body part I chose to make a print of were hands, specifically, hands clasped in prayer. To make this print I used dollar store styrofoam plates and carved the design into them. Then, I applied black acrylic paint to the design and pressed it down on drawing paper. The significance of the hands is that I come from a religious family, especially my grandparents. Therefore, this symbol makes me think about my grandparents who are currently living in the U.S Virgin Islands.
