A noble and graceful deer head with outstretched antlers emerges from an upright base, yet a heavy black chain rests around its neck. This piece symbolizes the individual of inner nobility and quiet dignity, restrained by structures, obligations, and limitations that prevent full expression. *The Noble Captive* is a tale of the tension between potential strength and external confinement — majesty subdued without violence.
