Inspired by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood of Frank Herbert's Dune series. This portrays a witch-like woman in a scifi future holding the pain box and the Gom Jabbar as part of the ritual to determine their prophesised chosen being while having the blue within blue eyes from the spice Melange. A striking scifi painting for fans of Dune and lovers of portrait art.

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
