WHICH ONE IS CHAINED TO THE OTHER?

Skillfully arrayed obliques. Excellent work, Daniel.

This rusty old chain demonstrates the skill of the old blacksmiths, able to build these mighty chains, beating hot iron, and weaving them together. Your expert eye couldn't miss it , ciao Giangiorgio

DG, is this image another way of asking which came first - the chicken or the egg? Forgive my poor attempt at humor. In truth I could not discern a story line right away. However two elements tell us that the image's message is entirely metaphorical - that , using Sartre's phrase, of the heaviness of the weight of human reality. Those elements are the chain's predominant darker colors and my supposing that not too many people could could lift the chain singlehandedly. Outstanding work! - - My best always, michael
