Monet delos Santos' composition of "Healed or Not" is anchored by a hand that is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, the crease and cracks symbolizing the experience that the owner has gone through. The hand is enveloped in a white cloth, tinged with red that suggests healing. Yet the title “Healed or Not” introduces an element of ambiguity that challenges the viewers to ponder the completeness of the healing process.
