A central figure hangs from a chain, with branch-like extensions resembling human forms suspended from its body. Darkened heads, weary limbs, and red stains all serve as marks of silent sacrifice—fragments of self offered to another or to an idea. This piece speaks not of external violence, but of internal collapse and the conscious giving away of one’s own being.
