Description First of two works inherent to the concept of man seen as a domesticated being, whose intimate and purest nature is lost and crushed under the social costrictions of modern times.
This one is rather conceptual, while the work I'm going to post after this one is more straightforward and more... erm... heavy. Yes, "heavy" I think is a fitting word, you'll see

All photography and textures by me. The cogs comes from my broken old DVD drive which has then been dutifully disassembled for "artistic" purposes.
I did the mask a lot of time ago and it is the first time I'm using it in a photomanipulation, I'll surely use it again in the future.

The symbol of the triangle with the eye it is also the symbol of one would be saying secret conspiracy called the illuminatis. Many web sites mention that they would plot in order to create a control and monitoring system of the men by the men. any case any this is for saying if such a thing is true I would prefer to die

Well, the Illuminati society exists, but it's more like a rotary club with filantropic interests. Conspiring secret societies a la x-files do however exists: they're called governements and corporations (hence the triangle taken from the dollar) Thanks for your comment.

Fantastic! It actually looks like an oil painting. How did you manage to get that effect?

An accurate choice and elaboration of textures with tones and curves and blending options (not sure if this is the correct definition in english, though) between levels
Thank you for the comment
