These pieces depict the limitations of what a machine can do or become. Humans are organic beings, we are have nuances and imperfections that a machine could never replicate. We have infinite complexity to us that we cannot comprehend nor reproduce into a machine- the creation of man. If God created lesser beings, we must also create lesser beings.
