Ningyo in Japanese word means “doll”. This doll depicts a woman being restrained by a golden chain, surrounded by lavish decoration around her. It portrays human intuitive behaviors to ward our beloved and precious possessions. We tend to secure our treasure in a joyful environment (symbolized by the colorful decoration), protecting them from any threats in this world, without realizing that the good intentions may restrict them or go against their own will. Parents usually project this intuitive behavior to loved ones.

Dalam Bahasa Jepang, Ningyo, yang tertulis dalam lukisan ini, artinya boneka. Lukisan ini menggambarkan seorang perempuan yang terbelenggu oleh kehawatiran orang-orang yang menyayangi kita. Biasanya kita dan orangtua melindungi apa yang dimiliki tanpa menyadari bahwa hal tersebut tidak sesuai dengan keinginan dan membelenggu.
