This piece is a reworked expression of the suffocating feeling of daily social pressures and obligations. The thick, textured rope — rendered in gold — symbolizes how these pressures can feel both heavy and inescapable, wrapping tightly around one’s sense of self. The gold color reflects the deceptive allure of escape: in moments of despair, the thought of ending the pain might seem like a solution, but it never truly is.
Instead, the work stands as an invitation to pause, to acknowledge these struggles, and to reach out for support. By transforming the rope into something golden, it suggests that even the darkest feelings can hold the possibility of connection, healing, and understanding when shared with others.
