An artwork I created for the contest "Change" and it was inspired by Michelangelo's visualization of the Second Coming. A small part of his huge fresco at Sistine Chapel which i was lucky enough to see in person. 

Rebirth is the ultimate Change, a positive one that comes when a long negative event comes to an end. It can be a new way of life, a significant change of character or ideas. It is the spring that comes after a long winter or an overwhelming desire after years of emptiness.When I started the Mechanicus collage series the idea was to create a visual dialogue with the viewers and make them think what is that makes us human. Is it the human body that we all have and recognize in each other, is it sth else? Maybe the intellect, the spirit inside while the body is just a fleshy contract that helps us move around and interact with each other. Back then i found this quote by C.S Lewis which in my opinion summarizes everything.

You don't have a Soul. You are a Soul. You have a Body.

The new decade brought tremendous changes in our lives and maybe it is time to revisit this ideas. A body can be of flesh, a body can be mechanical or even virtual.
