In my final image, I tried to recollect Michelangelo's image of God reaching out to Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, with the outstretched finger of God as the heel of the stiletto and as Adam's finger as my pinky, the two almost but not fully touching. In the article I read, it said that Michelangelo likely got his inspiration for the Sistine Chapel ceiling from the hymn, "Veni Creator Spiritus." When I made this, I thought about how Adam is lazily reaching out to God almost in a ambivalent, indifferent way, and I tried to reflect that sentiment with this piece.
