"Bound by Illusion” is a powerful pointillist composition that explores themes of entrapment, struggle, and duality. A human figure is suspended upside down, entwined with an oversized hand—an abstract force that could represent fate, control, or societal pressure. Chains bind the figure to a wooden structure, amplifying the sense of powerlessness and internal conflict. The intricate dotwork and stark monochrome contrast heighten the emotional weight, inviting reflection on the unseen forces that shape our choices and entangle our freedom.
