Meaning is in the eyes of the beholder

November 18, 2019 in journal

Woman getting up and waving to the Sun
Gym advertisement poster
Spirit emerging
Woman against a tsunami
Nuclear apocalypse
Ghost with big eyes trapped in the light
First steps after death
Hopeless look into the abyss
Swimming towards a wave
Fly trapped in insecticide
Dancer's dream
About to commit suicide
Caterpillar becoming butterfly
Double street light
Cobra threatening to attack
Origin of life
Apocalypse
Evolution

My mom has been fascinated by this image of mine since I posted it on Instagram a couple of days ago. Apparently, she's been looking for some meaning behind it. Those above are just some of the titles she's suggested.

I had no meaning in mind when I created it.

That's the beauty of photography and art, we can create for the sake of creating and the viewer can give it a meaning, if they wish to do so.
