A disembodied head acting as symbol for whole body, kept static by red loops holding it in place.
The potential of it being drawn in, let out further or be released totally, giving the image an impact beyond the few elements that exist in applied paint strokes.
The concept of safe stability being made more actual by the red linear elements, whilst also positing the concept of whether the potential freedom you could experience is worth the risk of losing your current mental state.
