Salvador Dalí reinvents a classic religious depiction through an unusual surrealistic interpretation. As symbolized in this sculpture, the strength and supremacy of God is represented by a thumb from which all life emerges (the branches of the trees). To the right of this divine being stands humanity: a man bursting with life's vitality. On the left, the presence of the Angel, representative of the meditative spirit, can be found with his wing resting on and supported by a crutch. Although man is united with God, God's knowledge is supreme. R. & N. Descharnes Salvador Dali Sculptures & Objects. Eccart. Ref. 617, page 240.
