Helpless: The Glass King

Environment design for Daniel’s room, a metaphor for his state of mind. The room is a prison cell without a lock, just as the raven is trapped in a cage with an open door, yet it still does not escape. It likes the comfort found in its chains.
The chess board depicts a game in its final stage, the opposing side (black) standing strong and protecting their people against the glass king, caught between both sides. His comrades, if he can call them that, fallen. What side does he stand on?
