Break Chains

Break Chains

A Figure Tearing Free

A lone figure strains against its chains on a field split into red and black, the colours of every banner that ever called for revolt. The links give way under the pull, and the whole composition tilts with the effort.

Pasted as a large print on a back-street wall, it speaks to whoever walks past: the chains are weaker than they look. On the T-shirt, sold as Liberation Unbound, the figure is drawn alone, breaking free with the chains falling away.
