A bloody hand holding a bloody knife. They are connected beyond mere physics after what they have shared. The hand wouldn’t have been able to carry out its deepest, darkest wish without the aid of sharp and sturdy friend. In turn the knife had to be yielded by a hand in search of that connection only blood shed can bring.
As the two are suspended in the dark they don’t just symbolize unity. They symbolize a thought or an image of something truly horrible. What they did or who they did it to is left up to the creative imagination. The only hints to complete the picture come in the form of bloody pieces that decorate every inch of the hand and the knife.
It could be anybody’s hand and it could be anybody’s blood. In fact, it could be the desire many of us would like to hide before the picture becomes a reality.
