Broken Handshake Illustration - Symbol of Failed Trust and Agreement #1589066 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed pencil drawing shows two formal hands clasped in a business-style handshake, but the left hand is visibly fractured with deep cracks and blood droplets falling from the grip. The contrast between the outward appearance of agreement and the internal damage conveys themes of deception, unsustainable partnerships, or emotional harm disguised as collaboration. The artist’s signature “Mardi” appears in the lower right corner.
