The two portals resemble futuristic urns, possibly bearing the remains of an extinct species— perhaps humanity itself. Their smooth, alien contours elude clear categorization and suggest relics of non-human civilizations, speculating on extraterrestrial life and its visibility. Their mirrored arrangement evokes Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam (1512), specifically the iconic gesture of near-touching hands symbolizing the transmission of life, consciousness, or divine energy. […] At their tips, the sculptures incorporate silicon or selenite—materials that connect the technological with the mystical: silicon evokes advanced digital systems, while selenite suggests sacred or energetic resonance.
