This piece explores power, control, and the illusion of free will. At the center stands a puppeteer who appears to command the stage, yet he seems just as trapped by his role as the figures around him. Each character embodies a different relationship with power: one is controlled, one thrives through proximity to it, one hides behind performance, and one bears the burden of authority itself. The dominant reds evoke power, temptation, and spectacle, while the blue puppet represents a fragile remnant of innocence within a world governed by unseen forces. For me, this work is not about who controls whom. It is about a chain of dependencies in which every figure believes they are free, while all remain connected to something beyond their sight.
