This is a drawing that I think represents several different things from the reading. First of all, the fire literally represents the burning of both Plumb and Hannah. The hand in front of the flames is Eva's. I drew it like that because she had a role in both of her children's deaths. She was the one to actually burn Plumb, and she tried to smother the fire on Hannah with her own body. Behind flames (even though it's very misshapen) is a heart. This is because Eva's actions around fire and her burning children both came from love, though they had very different intentions.
i love the detail you use in the hands. It is very hard to get that level of perfection from the scribbler, and I use it to make all my pictures look dark and eerie. You make it dark, but in a whole different way. It is great how Eva, Hannah and Plumb are all in one photo.
