Brief Description
This artwork represents the angel within us all—the essence of the human being and their life purpose.
It shows how we suffer in silence, feeling chained in an illusory prison of the mind. This is symbolized by the chain and lock attached to one leg of the chair. They are not physically connected to the body; she is free, but by seeing the chains, she becomes trapped in her mind, without attempting to escape, and falls into the sadness of her internal prison.
There are more possibilities, but the mind prevents her from seeing them. This is conveyed by the bird in flight—the freedom of flight represents the liberty within each of us. The key the bird carries symbolizes that even when we feel chained—often by illusions created by the mind, as in this case—there is always a way out, always something or someone holding the key to resolution.
However, she does not see it and remains trapped in herself, in her mind, in the prison created by her own ego, fear, and distraction—unable to see with the eyes of her heart.
This artwork invites us to connect with our inner self, encouraging meditation and reflection on how the mind can either set us free or hold us back if we fail to pay attention to our inner being.
