In the Ruin, We Bloom XI

This image explores the liminal space between destruction and regeneration. The figure, seemingly weightless as they reach for the sky, symbolizes human resilience. Black and white tones highlight the textures of the ruin, while a red shirt punctuates the scene, representing life amidst decay. "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering," wrote Nietzsche, perfectly encapsulating the themes explored in this self-portrait.
