This image is a reflection of my artistic vision, which aims to capture the contrast between motion and stillness in life. On one hand, motion represents the dynamism, energy and change that we experience every day. On the other hand, stillness represents the calmness, stability and harmony that we seek in ourselves and our surroundings.
