freedom & tyranny

 

Freedom

The two pieces of Freedom appear to float but in actuality are rigidly glued together.   I was trying to suggest how societies sometimes present the illusion of freedom without actually providing it.

 

These are companion pieces.  

 

Tyranny

The two pieces of Tyranny are free to move around a bit.   This freedom of movement is a cruel irony.   They are still inexorably linked.  They are not going anywhere.

Both are made out of links of a chain.  Is the idea of freedom itself an illusion?  When the chains that bind us are cloaked in deception and illusion, how do we break free?
