This is such an interesting piece, and I feel like there’s a story behind it!
Fantastic work

I can’t speak for the person who commissioned this particular piece, but a year ago I came up with a similar idea, which Kissa skillfully brought into being :

It was sort of meant as a metaphor for my struggles with addiction.

Oh I remember that piece!!
The artist just has such an amazing talent at bringing emotion into their work. I love it

Your piece was actually the one that inspired my own! It is one of the most beautiful works of art I’ve ever honestly seen!

For a meaning behind it, it’s overall nature reclaiming itself and overcoming that one little piece of man that’s left be that Tobi or the stone wall behind him.

Deeper than that, it’s me and my struggle to be able to get away from constant binds and restrictions - I’ve been in school for 17 years straight now with no time to be free, and this is almost symbolic of nature trying to pull me into itself out of the four square stone walls I’m used to being confined in.

Tobi’s used to represent myself, and that’s why he seems to stoic/calm, because he’s okay with this, it’s almost “freeing”.

Hope that makes sense ^^

I’m sorry 😭

Really gorgeous piece! Love the detailing of the sky and flowers

This has got some serious Dark Tower vibes.

For some reason, I was getting Space Odyssey vibes... Not sure why...

I had the same thought!!

I love the colors in this! Great job!

I just saw this, and thank you once again for this. I’m super eager to get this printed and hung on the wall!
