The Burden - is about the invisible mental weight we carry. Being there for family and friends, being a good parent, being a good partner, being good at your job, going to the gym.
This ‘mental load’ falls especially heavy on women. The pressure society places on them can become too much to carry.
In this work, the girl wears chains made of beads; each one a burden she carries. But the weight of all those chains has become too much. She is paralyzed under the pressure.
