For me, the first image is reminiscent of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam". I love the juxtaposition of a world map onto the hands and what it says about the identity of each person. I personally feel like a map of many places and ideas all stitched together. I like the lines shooting from each hand, intertwining together....the electricity of touching another human being. That is what's fascinating about meeting and interacting with a new person -- discovering the map of their life, the elements that went into their development -- and the spark of new life you can create together. I want to understand others, not be turned off by our differences, but be able to decifer the true spirit behind the surface. To contribute the life of God inside of me to those I meet.
