Illustration Friday, Caged

I'm not sure what happened, but my Illustration Friday link didn't let my thumbnail show up!  Thanks for visiting if you took a chance and clicked my link anyway!

For Your Protection

This piece illustrates how we can inadvertently become prisoners in the interest of protecting ourselves.  And, also, how we can inadvertently make prisoners of others in the interest of protecting them.  The rust symbolizes how this process can sometimes be so gradual that it is years before we realize what we have done.

This piece reminds me that it is good to take chances sometimes.
