This piece is inspired by my personal struggles with germaphobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I remember thinking that the cracks in my hands from over-washing them look kind of like stained glass, and when I thought of stained glass, I immediately thought of church, so I wanted to paint that image. I wash my hands so much sometimes that they bleed, but in those moments, the only thing that matters to me is that they're clean. 

Note: I tried to find an image, but it isn't allowing me to see them. I can't submit without one, though, so I just selected a random one. I apologize.
