Initially it looks as though this image is of people using their hands to pry open some wood - trying to break through, but when you look at this image in more depth, it might look as though the people are closing the wood or leaving something behind. This could be a symbolism of a country wanting to leave behind war or famine, or times of hardship. I imagine this image to be set in a third world country because it looks as though the people are struggling - would something like this symbolise a richer country?
The use of hands in this image is significant in putting across a message. The hands might be a way of asking the viewer to 'lend a hand' or asking for help in times of need.
The clenched fist in the centre has a yellow wrist band on (in the colour version), this particular band means 'live strong'. Coupled with the triumphant clenched fist, this symbolises power. The people's hands are tightly nit and the people seem to be working together and are somewhat powerful.
I will try to take pictures which can be interpreted as a symbolism of school life.
