Reaching out 1924

"Reaching Out" is a 1924 mural by Mexican artist Jose Clemente Orozco. It depicts two disembodied hands reaching down toward a locked box, symbolizing the inaccessibility of resources or opportunity. Orozco, known for his social commentary, often explored themes of poverty, inequality, and revolution in his work. The dramatic composition, rendered in a simplified, powerful style, is characteristic of his muralistic technique and speaks to the challenges faced by the working class in early 20th-century Mexico.
