Please let me know if you don't want it up! The story can be found here: [link] though you may not want to read it.

This definately adds depth to many things. The white hands and white border around a black background makes everything just stand out and gives it new contrasts. The formation of the hands makes it look much more desperate.
Reminds me of the song Down and Out by Tantric, very complex and good.

i really like this - interestingly one of the things i like best isthe proportion of white to black. spot on.
One thing I think would look better is if one of the hands - prob the right one, was turned palm facing the camera.
This would give the feel of reaching/grasping better than both palms away.

As it stands one could imagine the hands are on a floor, feeling their way slowly in the dark, rather than stretching as far as they can for an unreachable, unknowable goal.

mk i still like it better that they are facing down as if to be pushing further into the darkness rather than facing the light

thank you

ahhh interesting - we are looking at this piece in different dimensions
I'm thinking of a vertical down-to-up movement, reaching for the stars, and i think you are seeing one pushing INTO the darkness away from the viewer?

What are you reaching for?

I think this image captures that sentiment beautifully. I've often pictured that internal struggle inside as an action grasping for the intangible hope. I love how this speaks, well done!
