In the Ruin, We Bloom XVII

This fine art self-portrait explores the delicate balance between destruction and creation. The old construction, covered in moss and overtaken by nature, represents the inevitable decay of human-made structures. Yet, the human figure, adorned with a red shirt, reaches skyward as a symbol of hope and renewal. "The phoenix must burn to emerge," wrote Janet Fitch, and this image captures that sense of rebirth from the ashes of what once was.
