The act of being pulled in many different directions can take form in both emotional, physical and mental ways. Sometimes an individual feels taken advantage of, powerless and caught in a web of manipulation. However, sometimes the struggle to move or manipulate something or someone occurs between a pair of individuals. What does this process look like in the end? Does it ever result in success? Or is the manipulated person/thing going to be eternally held in suspense?
