"This piece references Albrecht Dürer's "Betende Hände" (praying hands), an image that has become iconic within the gang/prison culture. Prisoners turn to religion in the desperation brought on by incarceration. The skeletal hands represent the grasp of death that is a common end within the prison system, regardless of the severity of sentencing. The shadow of prison is only mirrored by the shadow of death. The golden cuffs are referring to the wealth that is wrought by the prison industrial complex by incarcerating the poor and underrepresented." - Jesse Hazelip
