In the Ruin, We Bloom VI

This self-portrait presents a fleeting moment where time seems to stand still—an intersection of growth and decay. The black-and-white photography is interrupted by a sudden flash of red, as though life itself cannot be fully contained within the grayscale confines. The figure, suspended between earth and sky, invites us to reflect on the themes of life’s impermanence and its enduring beauty. As the poet Mary Oliver reminds us, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
