Melancholy

This work is a mirror of the state of mind I experienced while meditating over what the course of life should be and what we must leave behind in order to start pursuing what we dream of and desire. Little by little, old beliefs start to take the shape of dried flowers and new thoughts appear, as buds that are about to blossom into the new self that we start to work on. This work, however, illustrates the mourning over what one has to let go of in order to make space for change and growth. Human existence obeys the rules of nature and a graceful way of being must follow the natural course of all forms of life. The old must die to make room for the new.
