Inspired by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, this diptych reimagines the connection between the divine and the human. Instead of a traditional religious figure, divinity is found in nature—its organic wrinkles and flowing lines forming the "fingerprints" of the world. These natural patterns, combined with artificial textures, are digitally collaged to create one half of the diptych. The other half features the hand of a street cleaner encountered during the journey of collecting “nature wrinkles”, representing the human element.
By juxtaposing these images, Fingerprints of Creation explores how nature and humanity intertwine, suggesting that creation is not a singular act but an ongoing relationship between the world around us and the hands that shape it.
