In the Ruin, We Bloom IV

A single figure reaches toward the sky, framed by the ruins of an old construction, a symbol of the human spirit’s ability to endure and grow in adversity. The play of light and shadow accentuates the moss-covered walls, while a subtle flash of red from the shirt hints at life continuing amidst decay. "The wound is the place where the light enters you," wrote Rumi, perfectly capturing the essence of this fine art self-portrait—an exploration of human resilience rooted in both suffering and renewal.
