I'm very glad to have helped spread the message that this work of art conveys to a great portion of the peoples of the Earth. Art isn't something that comes naturally to us all, and many of those who do not make the masterpieces never learn to appreciate the value of those who do - but to the enlightened amongst us, it is works like these that give true meaning to our lives.
You can tell that the artist poured their heart and soul into this portrait. It certainly has a cubist feel, but once you look deep into the eye that immediately attracts the attention of the casual viewer, you realise that this is not merely a copy of another person's work, but rather is a complete re-imagining of the genre in a way which our feeble minds could barely comprehend before gazing upon its majesty. If you try to figure out the meaning behind the work, it will be within your clutches - but will continuously escape you, sharing the feeling of desperation and despair of the human race. The face is not quite complete - it looks it, but the trained eye will notice several important features missing, such as half an ear, the center of the mouth, and an eye - showing us how our traditional concept of the five senses is giving us an incomplete view of the world.
However, the despair and sadness that would otherwise overwhelm the viewer is beaten back by the creator with a beautifully placed island of hope. A seemingly jumbled mess at first glance, the viewer is not given the chance to understand the magnificent imagery in the bottom right until they have been completely taken in by the rest of the artwork. One eye, half a mouth, half an ear, the top of a nose... What good are these to you, the viewer? It's not until we realise what we are missing that we learn to appreciate the value of working with others to complete ourselves, and make us better people.
