First I'd like to thank all the people who participated in the Manipul8 contest. We received so many amazing and creative entries which was a true delight and so refreshing to see.

Congrats to you all!

1st prize winner:

'Alpha and Omega' by *amadeus-love



The concept, in relation to alpha and omega, seems to derive from the biblical 1:8 Revelation where is found the quote “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
In addition, the piece itself seems to form the shapes of eight. It is overall a beautiful artwork which gets more fascinating with each look.

Congratulations!
