Thoughts behind the artwork...

Encountering The Mind Caged. On an upper floor, in a tower for the commoners, they happened upon The Mind Caged. Once upon a time, this one was free. Once upon a time, this was a friend. No more. Unaware of how to approach the desiccated, faceless creature... all they could do was stare in stupefied wonder.

They walk among us, though we do not see the cages. Nor do we see the spirits which have withered within. However, if we observe long enough we begin to see traces. With that comes the knowledge that they cannot be freed save by their own hand.
