In the Ruin, We Bloom XL

A testament to time, this photograph reveals the beauty of life thriving in unlikely places. The moss-covered ruins, standing in contrast to the human figure stretching toward the sky, represent the ever-present cycle of decay and renewal. The red shirt punctuates the scene, a symbol of vitality amid the muted tones. "For a while we are immortal," wrote Margaret Atwood, and in this self-portrait, we glimpse that brief immortality as life and bloom persist against the passage of time.
