A hand caught mid-motion, fingers curling downward through layered peach and amber washes, gives Okafor's composition its restless quality. The overlapping translucencies record the same movement twice, or perhaps three times, so that the drawing becomes less a portrait of a hand than a notation of its passing through space. Warm skin tones pool at the palm's base, grounding what might otherwise dissolve entirely into soft repetition.
