Description One of my more obscure concepts. I didn't expect to get it done but on my latest photo shoot, I told the model about it and she loved the idea, so here we are.

As for the concept: this figure has two locks on her body, one like a chastity belt and the other over her heart. She has one key in her hand as if she is asking the viewer, if you had to choose, what part of me would you embrace?

I believe these are two areas where people put up defenses (in relationships especially) and if you ask me I'd go for the top lock every time. ...and when you think about it, that unlocks everything.

An excellent concept!
And I love how the chains to the heart unlock, like, everything.
You are such an amazing artist--more thought behind your work than most other artists here. You're definitely a favorite.

Well if this key fits in both locks...? Hehe But of course I choose the top one without thinking.
By the way - this looks FANTASTIC! She is a beauty!

NonchalantConcern [2009-11-04 19:14:36 +0000 UTC]

I really like that when you look at the chains, you notice the the bottom lock only sets free one chain. So, if that one was chosen, the woman would still be bound except for that area. But if the top one the chosen and unlocked, it releases everything. I also love the vulnerable expression on her face. I love this.

Robo-Bug [2009-11-04 15:20:47 +0000 UTC]

I really like the concept of this. I really like the "choose" feel and how there are many chains to the heart, but only one is linked to the chastity belt. Almost to say that even though there is only one lock for either, the freedom that come from the heart is greater than the freedom that comes from the physical alone.
