The state of being fragile is a shade of human emotion the world readily frowns upon. In a society that demands grit and a strong willpower, emotional fragility is doubly magnified when a person is grappling with a major depressive episode.
One way to cope is to identify and avoid triggers--because one tiny prick could lead to emotional hemophilia. People may never understand and tolerate weakness, but sometimes, accepting one’s frailty can be liberating. For it is in this kind of moments that we can find freedom from those which deplete us of joy and peace.

This is a concept I'd LONG been wanting to bring to life--- but alas, my procrastination skills-- coupled with occasional mental inertia-- have always managed to prevent me from getting around to doing it.
And then an unexpected opportunity fell into my lap. And I can never thank enough the motivation and necessary pressure that pushed me to finally create this image.
I had to rush this in hopes it will be included in a group exhibit I've had the wonderful chance to be part of.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if this makes the cut or not. The whole process of shooting, post-processing and making do with what is available is already very rewarding. (of course I wish i could have done it better; the goal was to compose using an overhead perspective-- higher than the one I ended up with--but this is one of those instances my short,short height got in the way.😂)

A difficult image to create. Not 100% happy with end result might tinker some more.
Also a difficult one emotionally to create. I feel I have exposed myself way beyond my comfort zone and I don't just mean physically. Sometimes it feels as if we need to hug ourselves. I also believe this is an image which will speak to people on a personal level and have different reasonaces for each individual.

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay...
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are ......

The word fragility is on my mind in all kinds of different contexts and that's the reason why it has become part of my new art-journal

E' per te
è un fiore semplice
è una margherita.
Non sfogliarla
non chiederti perchè
il tempo ti darà ragione.
Non schiacciarla
tra le parole di un libro
fà che non stia in prigione.
E' come me
è fragile
è voglia di vita.

The famous Delicate Arch, in the Arches National Park, Utah, USA.
Quite a walk to reach it, especially in the late afternoon heat, but well worth it!
Zooming in, part of another arch is visible on the horizon, on the left hand side of the picture.

Impressionnante "Arche Délicate" du Parc National des Arches en Utah, USA.
Photo prise en fin d'après-midi sous in soleil de plomb bien visible sur la photo. Cela rendait la marche jusqu'à l'arche plus difficile mais ça en valait le coup! De toute beauté!
À noter qu'une autre arche est partiellement visible à l'horizon, tout à gauche de la photo.
