"Anchored Minds" portrays the struggle of a man trapped in outdated thinking. The figure, with a concrete block replacing their head, symbolizes a mind weighed down by rigid beliefs and traditions. The concrete block is chained to the leg of a pigeon, which struggles to fly, reflecting the inability to break free from the constraints of the past. The pigeon’s desperate attempt to soar represents the desire for freedom and progress, but it is held back by the weight of the human mind’s limitations. This artwork speaks to the internal battle between the desire for personal growth and the forces that keep individuals tethered to old taboos.
