Hand of Fate 

Achraf Baznani made this photographic artwork titled, Hand of Fate, using digital manipulation techniques. In this surreal image, the artist has created a tension between the real and the imagined. The dramatic scale of the hand suggests a sense of overwhelming power. Baznani uses digital tools to manipulate scale and perspective, combining photography with the traditions of surrealist painting and collage. The act of digital manipulation invites us to consider the layers of meaning embedded in the image. How does the artist imbue his work with social or cultural significance? The hand might symbolize control, destiny, or the weight of external forces shaping our lives. The figure appears small and vulnerable, dwarfed by the monumental hand. This contrast evokes themes of powerlessness and the human condition. The blending of photography and digital artistry expands the boundaries of artistic expression, inviting viewers to question the nature of reality and perception.
