The puppet on strings is you. Two giant hands wearing famous logos turn unseen brand power into one clear picture of control. The title says your mind. The image shows your body on strings, and nobody likes to think they are the puppet.

The title accuses famous brands of working on the viewer's own mind.
Thumbnail
