The Puppet Master 2023
36in x 48in
(Acrylic on Canvas)

The Puppet Master uses a minimalist composition to sharpen the impact of its color and symbolism. The stripped-down visual language allows the viewer to focus on the power dynamics embedded within the piece.

In dialogue with The Puppet, this work reveals the tension between blind optimism and subtle manipulation—how influence can masquerade as guidance, and how trust can be shaped, distorted, or controlled. Together, the two pieces form a narrative about autonomy, vulnerability, and the unseen forces that shape our choices.
