Based on some vision I see falling asleep after more stressful day. I saw black human silhouette, with game-style landscape background behind. That human could be even smaller compared to scene... He moved slightly - but his opponent very more mobile. Originally it was more like giant elephant or mammoth leg but it wouldn't look terrifying enough as drawn picture.

I could thing about one meaning then - it represented enemy or more abstract problem so big and overwhelming, impossible for small weak human to fight against.

I saved every version of this drawing file with name "Mighty Enemy".

A massive hand reaches dramatically towards the cloudy sky. It is the outstretched right arm of a screaming giant emerging from the ground in a park in Viterbo Italy. This is Il Risveglio (The Awakening), a fiberglass version of a sculpture created by John Seward Johnson II in 1980.

Instagram50501 South Dakota on Instagram: "What an incredible day in South Dakota! Nearly 600 people gathered outside City Hall to raise our voices and defend our democracy. From handmade signs to powerful chants, the energy was unstoppable. South Dakotans showed up with courage, unity, and purpose — and we made it loud and clear: we will not back down. And it wasn’t just Rapid — Sioux Falls (estimated between 2,000 to 5,000 people) and Pierre (around 225 people) also showed up strong with amazing turnouts and passionate voices calling for change. From east to west, we’re building something powerful together. This movement is growing. We’re loud, we’re united, and we’re not backing down. Thank you to everyone who stood up and showed out. This is just the beginning. We are the people. We are the movement. We are #50501. We'll share more protest coverage soon! @50501movement @polrevsouthdakota #50501movement #50501southdakota #peoplesmovement #wethepeople #rapidcity #siouxfalls #pierre #southdakota #politicalrevolution #polrevsouthdakota #indivisible"12 likes, 0 comments - 50501.southdakota on April 5, 2025: "What an incredible day in South Dakota!
