I recontextualize 'The Creation of Adam' by depicting the biblical figure becoming the creator, rather than only the creation. Through surgical means Adam takes ownership and exerts his bodily autonomy. I scanned my own used testosterone gel packets and the medical warning packet that comes with each prescription. The expiration date on the hormone packets have been edited to read "Book of Genesis Exp 1:27." This refers to the Bible passage in which God creates mankind in his own image
