I was inspired by a photograph of a surgery performed on an unborn baby in 1999.

Samuel Alexander Armas (born December 2, 1999) is the child shown in a famous photograph by Michael Clancy, dubbed the "Hand of Hope",of his surgeon holding his hand from out of a hole in his mother's uterus during open fetal surgery for spina bifida.

The photograph was taken during a medical procedure, to fix the Spina Bifida lesion of a 21-week-old fetus in the womb.
