Hands...again

So as stated in a previous post...I am fascinated with hands. I found this American artist named Josh Keyes who uses urban and environmental elements in his art. In each of his pieces he is trying convey environmental awareness...
"and the common space we share with different cultures and organisms, is the backbone that supports the different themes and ideas I explore in my work. It is in places in the world where the human touch encroaches on the natural environment are of great interest to me. Areas where rain forests collide with the logging industry or the fracture in our own back yards where a sidewalk or street ends and an ecosystem or biome emerges. Areas where cement meets rugged soil and grass, or a displaced bear roams far from their natural habitat. It is in the ever-growing human fingerprint that calls into question the value and importance or lack thereof that we assign to the natural surroundings."

I believe this one is called Guardian 1
