I think there is a lot more deep meaning in this painting than I have the ability to describe. The image in the chandelier looks to me to be the same as the person in the chair? Hmm? My first thought was a religious character in a diving bell of divine light.
What I CAN say for sure with my meager art skills/comprehension of such, is that you are amazing at painting a really realistic brick wall. Looks almost like a photograph. Sorry I can't come up with more than that. Combination of late-night, working on a post rummies and lack of any art training, really puts the kibosh on any deep-thought dynamics here. Sigh...

Man I really enjoyed painting those bricks. Somehow even the mortar is believable, I'm happy with the bricks, if nothing else in this piece. I appreciate you're noticing my bricks!
Definitely, the image in the chandelier corresponds with the scene below, apparent worship of a deity of some sort.
Looking at this with a night of sleep...I would say the deity and money and being in a celebratory place seemed to be at the heart of it, and the heart, on the infamous brick wall, sort of a simple view here...but a kind of love of monetary gain, etc. Also...didn't mean to insinuate that the brick wall was the best part of the art...just that it was very well done.
The bricks were my favorite part so I thought your artistic eye was accurate there. The bricks are close to realism, while everything else in the painting is more 'painted' looking, as I see it.
Money is designed to resemble God in many ways, and is worshipped as such. 'The One', especially, is a magical device, perpetuating the spell. Now, i'm not going to act like I know exactly what the painting means, I'm just the messenger sometimes.
