22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The connection

In this minimalist and powerful image, two hands – one human and one wooden – reach out towards each other, evoking the famous scene from Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam". The contrast between the organic and artificial hand symbolizes the growing interaction between humanity and technology. The clean blue background highlights the simplicity and depth of this connection, which hints at both the breakthrough and the philosophical questions about the future of man-machine coexistence.
