Patrick Wadley (American, 1950-1992), Untitled, 1986. Blown and sandblasted glass.

Austin, Texas-based artist Patrick Wadley used the sandblasting technique to apply vivid figurative forms to blown glass vessels and window/plate glass. The imagery of this untitled piece, featuring two humanoid forms and multiple detached hands, suggests a cry for aid, understanding or acceptance.
