Chains: Beauty in Decadence and Immoral
Cold, inanimate bunches of metal. What do chains hold down, or hold back…?
Chains are used in modern times as a fashion accessory, and they’re unisex in their use. They’re also often used in illustrations to symbolize a lack of freedom. The sight of a frail young girl bound by the coarse and bulky crudeness of metal chains evokes a sense of degeneration, and a sad, immoral yet beautiful feeling.
We have a collection of drawings with those “chains” as the motif. Enjoy!
