What is the significance of God's question, 'Where art thou?' to Adam?

Answered in 1 source

'Where art thou?' signifies God's desire for Adam to recognize his sin and need for repentance after the fall.

God's question to Adam, 'Where art thou?' (Genesis 3:9) serves as a profound invitation for Adam to introspect about his disobedience and his alienation from God. This inquiry is not about Adam's physical location but highlights the spiritual condition resulting from sin. It exposes human tendencies to hide from God and avoid confession. The question illustrates God's grace, as He seeks out fallen humanity, prompting believers to consider their own spiritual state and relationship with Him. Furthermore, it foreshadows the coming redemptive work of Christ, who seeks to restore what was lost in the fall.
