IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This image is inspired by the famous fantasy artist Patrick Woodroffe.
He creates common objects which are often turned into something totally
different by (sometimes strange) protagonists. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The image is entitled "Peace of Wisdom", which is not a misspelling of "Piece of
Wisdom", but reflects the calmness and peacefullness of the image. The absence
of the owner, inhabitant or creator of the strange floating object leads to
speculations who and where he/she is. The object was certainly created in a
long timespan, where the creator took bits and pieces and bonded them to form a
unique personal object. Just like a human being gathers impressions throughout
the entire life and collects them inside his mind. Sometimes this process leads
to wisdom...
