Man with Ball and Chain

A 3D rendered character, depicted as a simplified person, stands with a heavy ball and chain attached to their ankle. The figure's head is bowed and its posture suggests a deep sense of sadness, exhaustion, or being overwhelmed. This visual metaphor effectively conveys concepts of being burdened, trapped, or held back by obligations, debt, or difficult circumstances.
