Trapped

With this surrealistic digital art piece I wanted to talk about the feeling of being trapped in a situation from which you cannot escape. You can distinguish the main character in the middle of the artwork who is surrounded by gears, chains and locks.  These symbolize the feeling of imprisonment, defeat and inability to react. Additionally, in the upper left corner you will see a big eye. This implies that the main character is always under surveillance.  And there is also a mouth underneath the eye which implies that his speech is also controlled.
