Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 5

I have chosen to do a small part of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam and focused more on the most important part of the artwork: the space between God's and Adam's fingers which distinguishes the destinct role of the giver and receiver of life. I decided to mechanicalize the hands, attempting to challenge and see if it will have the same impact as 2 anatomical hands. I've carried on the technique of pixellation, and contrasted the squares by having different levels and mounted on a background similar to the original art.
