For many Cuban women, the possibilities of accomplishment come more from the hands than the mind. This places the hand at the top of the spinal cord.

In the words of the artist: "This piece represents the personal destiny of a woman. The hand is the instrument that the woman uses to construct her own life. This piece treats liberty and will in a human being as that which she seeks."
