TITLE: mental health and nature

In this photograph, the human being and the leaf reflect each other, in a silent, suspended atmosphere, sharing the same silence and weariness. A diseased leaf bears the signs of time and disease, yet in its slow deterioration, it prepares the space for the birth of new leaves. The silent person, immersed in their own inner shadow, seeks not the gaze of the observer but something deeper and more invisible. A moment of depression that is also introspection in search of a new form of self.
