After following all rules, this is my humble entry...
CAPTION:
"GODS; BY MAN, FOR MAN, TO THE DETRIMENT OF MAN"
JUSTIFICATION:
The picture above at first is not easy to decipher. But in my own way, i have given it a meaning. First, there is a budha-like figure with seemingly open arms enmeshed on the wall. Then there is what seems like the beginning of a cross at the belly of the same figure. This to me, represents the divergent religions around tge world today.
Then there is a a painting by the right of what to me looks like the side of a book (some may see a pole-like figure but for me thats a side view of some kind of big holy book). There are also three figures in the right that represents to me the various insignia of the different religious denominations(on the other hand, it could also be a few paint brushes, either ways my story would fit, just keep reading ).
Then there is a man, now here is the vital part. He is doing two things at once. First, he is trying to worship the figure he himself has created (the hammer in his hands show that he created the figure himself). At the same time, he is falling down. Tgis is where the twist comes in: he would be down already but for a hand seemingly holding him on his left arm, this arms seems to come from a door. To me, that represents reality (slowly trting to drag him out of this confused situation back to the real world, but slowly loosing the battle.) Who wins at the end of the day between religion and the demands of real life is anybody's guess. This makes me think of another caption but so as not to get disqalified i aint saying nada, lol.
Anyways, thats it. Man created the gods, and the worship of them by man threatens to be the source of man's downfall. One flimsy thought of how "go into the world and multiply" is threatening to cause overpopulation in some parts of the world is enough reason to understand my thought process. Thank you
