Description
It is typical to man to mimic the creation of life in ones ideal image. A puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object using strings. The brilliant use of strings gives the puppeteer full control of his puppet.An excellent analogy of dominance. The unmistakable fact however is that there is always someone or something pulling your strings as part of an endless fractal.

This piece was originally inspired from my data structures and algorithms lectures.. I was immediately fascinated by recursive methods
The puppeteer concept is to me pretty worn out, but I think it turned out more interesting in this context.
Painted with inks, later scanned and processed in photoshop.

Something that nearly everyone (even without knowing) can relate to.
Also the artwork is beautifully conceived in a rather dark way (which I like).
An excellent piece indeed.

Definitely. An excellent meditation on faith and the often absurd power structures connected with it.

_The instinctive hatred of reality_: the consequence of an extreme
susceptibility to pain and irritation--so great that merely to be
"touched" becomes unendurable, for every sensation is too profound.
I think this is the piece that will unblock the floodgates... your work has zaz.

Very nicely done. I first thought of the idea of a priest in the place of the puppet master, i think because of the way he's holding the control.
