This chilling image transports us into the eerie sanctum of the puppet master, a place where countless marionettes from tales unknown bear silent witness from their perches. In the center stands Pinocchio, held in the grasp of the puppet master, whose presence is both sinister and commanding. The walls are lined with an array of puppetry, from skeletal figures to those with hollow gazes, each telling its own mute story of past performances. The warm glow of candlelight casts dancing shadows and adds a macabre theatricality to the room, while the puppet master’s intent gaze and Pinocchio’s uncertain posture suggest a narrative filled with dark undertones and the theme of control.
