Human beings, full of contradictions, are always striving to understand themselves and the world around them, yet at times, under the weight of thoughts, emotions, and pains that have accumulated within, they lose themselves. This image depicts a being engulfed in the silence and inner screams; thoughts that, like a silent storm, set him ablaze from within, but never find the opportunity to escape.
A face covered in invisible layers; as if the truth has been hidden behind these veils with no way of being revealed. Perhaps these layers represent the mundane routines that have trapped the individual, or perhaps they symbolize the cold and weary thoughts that have seized him. No matter how much he tries to remove these masks, they are too heavy to be shed by mere will alone.
Within every person, there is a small and restless flame burning; a flame that consumes and at the same time tries to escape itself. Are these flames a symbol of hope? Or perhaps they are the very pain and sorrow that blaze within each person, bringing them ever closer to ashes with every breath. Flames that scream silently, yet no one hears them.
When one is ensnared in these layers of life, they no longer know which feeling is real. They search for meaning, for a voice that will pull them out of the cold silence, but the more they search, the deeper their sense of being lost becomes.
This image subconsciously tells the story of those who, under the weight of life, become distant from themselves. Those who, with each step, lose a part of themselves in silent worlds, and merely watch their own burning, not knowing whether these flames will ever extinguish or continue forever.
