This is a painting of a hand holding a green object with a straw-like element at the top. The composition features a large, bulbous green shape at the center of a bordered frame on a white background. A hand is wrapped around the curved upper part of the green object, positioned horizontally across the canvas. A thin, straight element extends from the object. The color and form convey an abstract and surreal quality.
