Everyone has lost a loved one or known someone affected by a stroke. It is my hope that this piece can highlight one circumstance that can lead to tragedy, and invoke sympathy from the viewer. The hand I drew for this piece is my own Grandma's, and I drew it on one of her own quilts. The study found that the largest demographic who abused drugs and had strokes were older women, which is part of why I drew this piece the way I did. The image is meant to remind people of their own loved ones and help them understand and interpret strokes in a simple way.
