Creation, second day.
On the second day, God the Father separates the waters: he creates the firmament and fills the sea with water. “God the Father enthroned” by Giotto is a young God I chose for the evident iconographic meaning that underlines his identity with Christ the Savior.
for the execution I used:
lutradur, fabric colours, embroidery and metallic threads, cotton wadding and cotton fabrics for the back and edges.
