A struggle for 'freedom' and 'autonomy', against the established regimes of Patriarchy and gender norms dictating lives, careers, and society. It is a story, of confinement, immobility, and separation, of a tussle between societal expectations and expectations that we have for ourselves. Alienation from the world and alienation from self. While bell jars are used in laboratories to cover objects, contain glasses, or vacuum, what if one day you wake up and realize that this world has turned into a bell jar and you are the specimen captivated inside, against your will, in seclusion and suffocation?

Or will you choose to succumb and dematerialize inside and let the vacuum take over? "To the person in the Bell Jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream." ![]()
