In the Ruin, We Bloom XIII

The beauty of this image lies in its contradictions—solid and soft, destruction and growth. As the figure extends towards the heavens, framed by moss-covered ruins, the red shirt provides a startling contrast within the grayscale. This self-portrait is a meditation on existence, recalling Søren Kierkegaard's belief that "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
