Hands up!

Our latest class project involved photocopying body parts, and using these low-quality images to create a collage of sorts. At the heart of the concept is the idea of decomposing the traditional sense of the body parts, and making something bigger out of them. As the saying goes, the whole is greater that the sum of all its parts, and this definitely rang true in all of the works presented in class. For my entry into this medium, I decided to stick to just my hands, as I found them to be the easiest body part to reinterpret. Here is the design I came up with:
