Theme Description:

The Great Architect is a term used to describe a neutral deity, one whose characteristics are universal regardless of belief systems. It describes God as an architect, merging rationalism with spirituality. This entity is the fabricator of the perceptible world. The model infers that human beings share a similar ability to create. And by extension, the human hand is the hand of The Great Architect. The imagery is an ambitious allegory for the creation of physical space. Each set of hands is engaged in a creative ritual informed by cultural traditions. Each pattern is generated using scientific and esoteric theories. By layering architectural concepts with spiritual philosophies, reason and imagination coexist long enough for humans to create with an extraordinary ability. As architects, humans are actively manufacturing doorways into the spiritual realm of pure creation.
