سايه ي دستي رقصان در برابر خانه ام

Film director David Lynch’s painting “Shadow Of A Twisted Hand Across My House” is a simple childlike image painted over a dark background, reflecting the darkness and fear a child can experience within their home.

با توجه به حال و هواي تصوير، به نظرم بهتر است براي
twisted
معادل وهم آور بگذاريم.

به نظر مي رسد كه پسرك داخل خانه از دستاني متجاوز در هراس است
دستاني كه حتي بزرگتر از خانه و آرامش آن به نظر مي رسد.

neutral Mahdieh Kandoei : here "twisted" has negative meaning. رقصان is positive.

Yes Mahdieh, you're right; that's why I have given the above notes and have also suggested وهم آور. Thanks for your input.

یک جمله از دیوید لینچ که به فهم این نقاشی شاید بهتر کمک کنه :
He portrays houses so threateningly because “the home is a place where things can go wrong” (Rodley 1997: 9-10).

سایه وهمناک دستی بر سرای من

I believe that twisted here wants to refer to sth frightening as per the story of this painting. what is more, "sara" is more literary than "khane" suitable for title
