a dark and slowly winding staircase tunnel shaped like the rib cage and throat of a dragon from within that ascends eventually into the light, up to the incredible viewpoint that looks out over the local, wide, lazy river and the surrounding dense jungle

an isolated bog in rural Maine in tones of greenish grey, the water a perfect mirror, a mountain rises in the distance, over the forest

All that discipline for what?Nina: I just want to be perfect.
What? Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Transcendence! #BlackSwan

📌 Desconexión.
(Disconnection).

Si miramos más allá de la moda, los dos maniquíes en este entorno clásico nos hablan de la desconexión social en la era actual. A pesar de estar próximos, parecen figuras aisladas, inmersas en sus propios mundos, simbolizando la alienación que a menudo se siente en ciudades concurridas o en interacciones superficiales, donde la presencia física no garantiza una conexión profunda o un diálogo significativo.

Las robustas columnas que se extienden en la distancia refuerzan una estructura social que, aunque imponente y omnipresente, puede sentirse vacía de verdadera reciprocidad. La imagen evoca la paradoja de una sociedad interconectada digitalmente, pero donde el encuentro auténtico y el entendimiento mutuo se han vuelto más elusivos, dejando un eco de monólogos silenciosos en la vida cotidiana.
