Description:
In front of a large hand, a female writer wearing a feathered hat holds a huge pen. The feather on the hat is a small nod to the past, when pens didn't exist. The writer couldn't bring herself to throw away her old quill, so she turned it into an ornament. With this pen, the hand writes on its own. We no longer realize that we need a pen to write.
