Self-Portrait as God

It shows a central figure standing in a long arched corridor flanked by tall wooden filing cabinets. The figure wears a bulky steampunk-style suit with a metallic chestplate, fur-lined coat, heavy boots, and a square dark-screened helmet with cables and mechanical joints. A yellow measuring tape is wrapped diagonally across its torso. The floor is worn gray stone, the lighting is soft and diffuse from above, and the composition has a painterly texture with visible brushstrokes and muted earthy tones.
