'symbolic hand'

a voting hand

'millions of intelligent hands'

'millions of intelligent hands' is a more abstract version of the voting hand

'millions of intelligent hands'
the jump from "symbolic hand" to "millions of..." is nice. I like the second one very much, but only because I have seen the first.

Hey Battleshark- have you seen the other entries? I guess you figure a hatchet stuck in a piece of wood with a light bulb is what we need now. And while you're at that garage sale, you won't be able to see the candle holders for all of those absolutely redundant bulbous "planters" I guess that's what we need- a design copied from every DIY site

I think a hatchet stuck in a piece of wood with a light bulb is exactly what we need to break up ka-lai chan's self portrait "chair" in the dark.
The only thing I can see wrong with the planters is that they didn't waste enough material...
