Description This is an inspiration from the song "The Art of Dying" from the French metal band Gojira. All the elements intertwine together and symbolize the lyrical context in my opinion.

For the artwork, I placed an angel statue, reduced its opacity. Then, I placed the female model and reduced the lighting of her picture. Afterwards, I took a TV and a picture of money bills, fused them together and erased what was unnecessary. The tentacles are probably the oddest element I added in this artwork. If you read the lyrics, you will understand why. I took two tentacles, fused them together and retraced a part of them. The building element was long to modify. I had to erase its original background then I reduced the lighting and put more contrast. The final element is the sun. I added "rays" in the bottom of it with the "Finger" option, even though they could have been better. I added a halo effect and a wind effect to make the artwork look more stunning, impactful and visionary, still remaining true to its principal theme.

This artwork took almost three hours to make.
