The Chain of Pain

The feeling of having a heavy rusted chain represents the accumulation of pain and suffering, with each link symbolizing a hardship or trauma.
Knowing you are shackled to this chain, struggling to take each step, burdened by its unyielding weight, and feeling defeated while every movement is a battle of your will to continue.
The weight of the chain drags down the soul, feeling trapped in its grip. The soul becomes a prisoner of its own anguish. The heavy burden pulls relentlessly. The overwhelming sense to find light during the darkness and to transform the links of suffering into symbols of strength.
The links are not just metal; they are from the moments of loss, regrets, betrayal, and fear.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30
