This image of denuded branches, seemingly reaching for the Moon, rang a bell.
I then quickly realized why -- it's reminiscent of William Blake's etching "I want! I want!", an observation on the boundless ambition, pride and longing of humanity. It is part of The Gates of Paradise, a renowned collection of small but visionary images illustrating various states of the human condition.
Although, in purely visual terms, the print actually looks more similar to my own earlier post "Hold Me" from March 3.
