Foundation of Dreams
In this thought-provoking illustration, I depicted a sleek skyscraper rising majestically from the palm of a hand, symbolizing the power of human imagination and innovation. The contrast between the organic curves of the hand and the geometric lines of the building creates a striking visual tension, highlighting the intersection of creativity and reality.
