Mother of Illusion

"We all are dreaming in the Womb of Maya - Mother of Illusion." Heavily influenced by Jostein Gaarder's book 'Maya'.Also the Quote is influenced by Buddhist philosophy which states that this world we live in is only an illusion. This illusion is called Maya. I really like the way the image came out. In a way i feel we all dream inside our own little worlds - this is how i tried to show it. The fetus thats seen is the human conciousness, floating with closed eyes through a universe of wonders. In a way, this captures my creativity for me as i believe that fantasy isn't just something made up but one of those illusions that Maya has created for us to escape too. Media: Photoshop, photoreference used. 22 hours of work. Image and quote (C) to me!
