Businessman Puppet with Strings Cut

Imagine a scene where a busy professional, looking quite stressed and carrying a briefcase, is actually a puppet on strings. Suddenly, a pair of sharp scissors is seen actively snipping one of those controlling threads. The man's wide eyes and open mouth show a mix of surprise and perhaps the dawning realization of either falling or being set free. This visual powerfully captures the idea of gaining independence, breaking away from being controlled, or finding freedom from corporate constraints or manipulation.
