Touching and touching

Graphite on Bristol, 24"x36"

A pencil drawing on paper. Much of the paper is empty. Just below center is a mass of bodies clustered together. They look like they could be the same person or related people. They vary in size slightly from toddler-ish to pre-teen. They each appear to be trying to touch another figure that's just out of reach for them. Drops of liquid fall from their faces and bodies. Four spindly flowers grow in front of them.
