The Handshake – Original Handmade Ink Drawing (Framed, One-of-One)

This is the first handshake.
Drawn by hand. The starting point of it all.

Every variation in the Zero Ground: The Handshake series stems from this one image, one moment of held tension, rendered in ink with care, pressure, and memory. It is not a digital concept or manipulated scan. This was made with hand, pen, and focus. Line by line. Wire by wire.

The drawing captures a paradox: unity and harm in the same frame. A handshake caught between gesture and weapon. It invites the viewer to ask: is this agreement, or is it submission? Is it peace, or is it performance?

This original piece is a one-off.

Also includes a signed copy of the artist's book
