Broken Chain and Padlock

A heavy-duty metal chain is depicted in an open, curved formation, no longer complete. At one end, a single link hangs detached, while the other end features a small, brass-colored padlock that is visibly open and attached to a slightly distorted link. The scene conveys a sense of something having been broken free or unlocked, suggesting themes of liberation, a loss of restraint, or even a failed attempt at securing something.
