Master of Destiny
“Master of Destiny” is a portrait of quiet defiance — or quiet delusion.
It reflects the moment we stand tall beneath the weight we once believed we could control.
A man beneath a massive stone, holding nothing but a white umbrella —
the symbol of our confidence,
our planning,
our illusion of safety.
This piece is about the burdens we create while convincing ourselves we’re in charge.
About the silent negotiations with fate,
the pride that blinds us,
and the fragility we dress up as strength.
It is not a portrait of control.
It is a moment just before collapse —
and the haunting stillness of believing we’re immune to it.
