He (?) wanted to shake hands, but because the photographer was limited by shooting pictures and partly because of his/her/its chained condition, this was prevented, 😁 .

It's been a while since I provided you with a so-called 'Manic Monday' (Mē) picture, but when I saw this scene, I thought this was a suitable item for this topic again. The photograph was taken at a comtempory art festival in Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands and was taken on August 18th, 2022.

PS: This sculpture is created by the Dutch artist Folkert de Jong (from Amsterdam) and is named 'Vagevuur' (Purgatory). Folkert says: "It's not exactly a horror doll. Maybe it's an alien. In any case, it's a sexless figure, neither male nor female. With a height of 2.20 meters, it's a kind of Hercules, a superhero with a beer belly. The doll is stood on two industrial springs, the surface is soft. You are allowed to touch him/her. Hitting is also allowed. I'm very curious to find out what the presence of that doll will do to the audience. Hopefully, it will also activate people who are not so much into art."
