THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING
We’re told the universe started with intention — a hand, a spark, a god deciding that creation should happen. But nobody ever asks whether the beginning had a beginning, or if the creator itself needed a creator.
The idea didn’t arrive fully formed. It came as scattered fragments — a painting of a human drawing himself, a drawing painting the human back, a familiar biblical image revisited, and a reminder that in Hindu mythology, creation sits with Brahma, not the god we were taught in school.
None of these belonged together.
And yet, somehow, they did — forming a picture where creation becomes a loop, not a hierarchy.
SYMBOLS THAT REWRITE THE ORIGIN STORY
The artwork pulls from recognizable moments, but rearranges them into a different order of truth:
• Michelangelo’s act of divine touch
• Brahma instead of the biblical god — stripped of ceremony
• “Adam” rewritten as a woman — the true beginning of every human story
• Two hands painting each other, collapsing the roles of maker and made
Here, every brushstroke argues that creation is not vertical — not god over human — but circular, collaborative, and confusingly mutual.
Which leads to the question that refuses to resolve quickly.
WHO CREATED WHO?
If God made us…
and we made the idea of God…
who really created who?
And beneath that puzzle sits a quiet truth, never framed as sacred:
Every origin story in mythology begins somewhere different.
Every origin story in reality begins the same — inside a woman.
We just weren’t taught to see that as divine.
So the garment doesn’t ask you to believe a doctrine —
just to wear the question.
100% cotton — but the fabric isn’t the point.
What you’re wearing is creation looking in the mirror.
