Not my own hand but intriguing hand shadow art from an exhibit in Boston that I found interesting -- this sculpture ("Abstinencia") is by Yoan Capote and is a political protest against speech censorship

From Boston Art Museum: Artist Yoan Capote  - Cuban, born in 1977 Abstinencia (politica), 2011 Cast bronze and watercolor over etching on paper Capote's sculpture, Abstinencia (politica), is from a larger series exploring "abstinence" or self-censorship in speech-both public and personal-in the face of authoritarian governments. Cast from the hands of his neighbors in Havana, it spells out "politics" in Spanish sign language, referencing Capote's Cuban upbringing and the still-stifled citizenry there, as well as threats to free speech worldwide. Cast in bronze, a favored material for monuments, the work concretizes the unspoken, and the silenced. Gift of Ashley and Jamie Harmon, 2014 2014.1020.1-9
