Who is the Boss?

This whimsical and surreal illustration presents a unique meeting between fantasy and reality. A gnome-like figure, seated on a rustic wooden stool rooted in the earth, carefully examines a small creature in his hand. Across from him, a regal cat lounges inside a mystical globe set atop a tree-stump-like table. Surrounding the cat are various enchanted artifacts—keys, ornaments, and trinkets—adding to the air of mystery. The scene blurs the line between master and servant, inviting the viewer to question who truly holds authority in this fantastical interaction.
