Adaptation = chain drawing

Description

The object in this drawing is a ‘jewelry’ chain of 20cm length.
It belongs to a shoe (so I learned).

The interesting thing about a jewelry chain is the 'corrugated' chain links.
Through this form it can evenly align and conform to nearly any surface.
If you pull the chain ‘through’ your hand, you can feel this ‘smoothing’ property.

This drawing symbolizes 'my curved life-journey with the adjustments that I have run through'...
