Breaking Free

Inspired by Hermes, the winged messenger of freedom and speed, this painting of feet with wings reflects a yearning to transcend earthly limitations, just as Queen’s ‘I Want to Break Free’ expresses a powerful desire to escape conformity and embrace self-liberation. The wings symbolize a timeless, mythological impulse to break boundaries, while the feet remain grounded, representing the tension between restraint and the soul’s innate need to soar. Together, they evoke the anthem’s spirit of defiance and self-empowerment.

This could serve as a bridge between the visual and musical themes of freedom and transcendence.
