Original artwork description:

A delicate profile, serene yet bound, adorned with a gleaming gold collar that sits somewhere between ornament and restraint. The smooth elegance of the reflective metal contrasts with the softness of the skin, evoking a quiet tension—luxury and confinement intertwined. The subject’s downward gaze suggests introspection, submission, or perhaps quiet defiance, leaving the viewer to question whether the chain is a symbol of power or restriction.

Gold Chain explores the fine line between beauty and control, between adornment and limitation. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which external expectations, societal structures, and personal choices shape the way we present ourselves to the world.
