Hands Holding Bars Symbolizing Captivity

The image features two human hands, one on each side, against a dark backdrop. The fingers are curled and positioned as if tightly grasping vertical bars. This posture powerfully conveys a sense of confinement, imprisonment, or being trapped. The absence of the bars themselves allows the viewer to focus solely on the act of holding, making the symbolism of captivity even stronger and more impactful. It's a stark portrayal of being held back or restricted.
