Interrupted Pendulum Painting

This art piece incorporates several symbols to convey its message. The woman is depicted trying to break through a striped background, which symbolises a barrier or filter between extremes, possibly representing constraints or personal struggles. Her open mouth signifies the desire to express herself, but it has been shut. The crossed arms indicate insecure resistance, reflecting internal conflict or reluctance to confront challenges. The woman is depicted based on a pendulum, representing the oscillation between environmental 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 placed upon her.
