In a world draped in illusion, a wooden puppet dangles from unseen strings - a haunting symbol of the modern mind.
Through the top of his head, a rusted padlock is fastened tightly, sealing away freedom of thought. Though he resembles Pinocchio - a puppet once dreaming to become real - this figure is not free. He is animated, but not alive. His eyes, wide and hollow, reflect a silent scream - the quiet agony of being aware, yet powerless.
Surrounding him swirls a dreamlike mist - soft, surreal, and chaotic - representing the ever-shifting forces of society: media, culture, politics, trends.
These forces manipulate and condition, shaping desires, beliefs, and even identities. The puppet is not only controlled - his very thoughts are locked away, denied access to the key of self-realization.
This artwork is a poetic rebellion. It questions the cost of conformity and the invisible hands that shape who we become.
