Interrupted Pendulum

The woman is depicted trying to break through a stripped background, which symbolises a barrier or filter between extremes or personal struggles. Her open mouth signifies the desire to express herself, but it has been shut. The crossed arms indicate insecure resistance, reflecting reluctance to confront challenges. She is depicted based on a pendulum, representing the oscillation between societal expectations and personal desires. However, the pendulum is now stopped and weighted down by the "barcode" imposed on her by others, symbolising the burden of external judgments and limitations.
