Being tied up to a single predetermined destiny.
Societal norms become a mechanism of control rather than freedom.
External forces—whether religious, political, or societal—dictating life's path, leaving little room for personal deviation.
The human-like figure is being gradually enveloped and restrained by chains until it is completely bound. Chains begin wrapping around the figure, first loosely, then increasingly tighter, until the figure is almost fully cocooned. This transformation suggests a loss of autonomy where an individual is slowly consumed by external forces. Even as the chains cover the figure, the face remains visible for a while—screaming, resisting, or expressing anguish. In the final frame, the figure is completely bound, resembling a cocoon or a mummified body. This symbolize total submission, but it also evokes the womb—a place of both protection and confinement.
