Drawings Featuring Scissors - Cutting Out a New Path

An everyday household staple, scissors take on an entirely new meaning when wielded by a person. Many scenes in films or anime feature a character cutting their hair with a pair of scissors to symbolize shedding their skin and leaving their past behind. Scissors also have opposite meanings, used in both birth and death rituals in various cultures. On the one hand, they represent the beginning of a new life by cutting the umbilical cord; on the other, they signal the end of one by severing the thread of fate.

Be careful when handling these glinting blades, for you never know when they might turn against you.
