Colorful images likened to a puppeteer pulling the strings and taking control of the situation, the fish show opulence and freedom and the birds in flight in their natural element of air, yet the puppet appears controlled and restricted while attached to the strings, symbolic of being held and moved about by second will! Love the jaquered colorful images, likened to a pageant where the creatures are scattered and define their own mobility. The black cat is slinking away as though it is showing free will, but the toy puppet is in the possession of the puppeteer!
