Description
The meaning behind it is a little bit hard to explain, especially if you don't know the Hellraiser movies and the meaning behind the puzzle box.
It's a kind of sad picture trying to capture the very moment when we stop struggling, a moment when we see, that not all fights can be won and just give in to our demons...
The cloth texture was something I have done a long time ago and forgotten about but it turned out useful now because I needed something with an oriental feeling and warm colors...

Excellent piece!!!!!!!!!
Really liked the first Hellraiser film and never wish to own a puzzle box like that. Maybe we all have one in us already???? Excellent and emotive scene... Lighting and fx are perfect...

Wow!! Very lovely!
Stunning image, rich with detail.
A sad little image, Seto. I have not seen the films, although I have seen most of the adverts for them. It pulls at my heart strings. I have often come across people who have given up, worn down by circumstance and depression. I have suffered so myself over the years. My life has never been easy, but, strangely, I find it quite peaceful. Perhaps growing in faith over the years, and seeing His work in my life and those whom I come into contact with, reassures me that all is not lost, is never lost. Thank God. If we fall, with His ever ready help we can always be forgiven, aided to stand up, as one of His beloved children, and enabled to try again, till He, one day soon, calls us home, at last. Warm regards, from a cold, damp Glasgow ( sleet or snow returning I think ), John.
Nice idea...!
