Description

Are people ever going to forget the stereotypical image of black = evil and white = good? Nothing ever is this simple in real life, and there are always 2 sides to every story. Good and evil are purely judgments based on circumstantial evidence and opinion.

What better example than chess? Black and white; both are in actuality neutral yet the black will always be thrown into the role of the 'bad guys'. Neither colour is even in control of their actions, and the puppetmaster is always watching, benign.

The image places the white queen in the role of the killer, striking down the black pawn while the player in control watches you, the opponent, without emotion.

Its your move.

Anyway, hope you like it :)
