A long narrow, black and white painting broken into three segments. The furthest right image is that of Adam from Michelangelo's painting Creation of Adam. The center and furthest left images are pixelated versions of Adam, which shows a progression from a highly pixelated, unrecognizable image on the left to the complete image on the right, indicated that, like Adam here, we are all a work in progress.
