A wooden hand is hung high on the wall and holds a silver marionette puppet with the three symbols of the Abrahamic religions. The solid silver pieces make both light reflections and shadows of the symbols. Using religion as a metaphor, the piece opens up questions on belief, as it embodies the inevitable light and shade of life.
