"Pantocrátor" (EN) Pantocrator : A title of Christ represented as the ruler of the universe, especially in Byzantine church decoration.
"A fire in 1595 destroyed much of the original art but one of the most impressive pieces - the great mosaic of Christ Pantocrator luckily survived."
As a human and as a believer of the existence of divine forces, in several times i wondered how could be to play god, or said better, a divine force or have a divine force to control the way the world change, someone's world changes, or in this case, something's world changes. I've virtually created a world that changes randomly, but i added some stuff that changes that natural changes, because i am now a divinity, a divinity struggling with another divinity.

The rusted metal sheet as the mounting shows the first move of my rival, my choice and my first move was the print on it, and now we're in the game, the nature has a method to work and i'm not gonna let it win, it will try change and modify or deny the things i will do to this "world" we've created, and i will try to do it as well. This fight has an "obvious" end with the time, i'm supposed to be dead in some time but i am clung to the idea that i will became a divinity if i win my place and the better way to earn something it's to show that you're the good enough to have it.

I found the rusted metal sheet, and i started to work on it, and i started to see that the rust started to cover my work, and there was were the idea of a fight was born, i was fighting with the order of things. Then i started adding, scratching and doing things to the metal sheet and the nature was acting kinda against what i was doing.
It's a nonstop piece, even if i stop working on it the changes are continuous.
