I didn’t do yoga, but one day I saw one of my friends who does yoga, while she was in the lotus form and wanted to learn more about the lotus symbol. She told me that lotus form symbolizes recreation. Yogis believe that during the lotus form they come to life again. So, the first drawing represents the birth. The second figure symbolizes the Utkatasana pose, which means power. It is not the power that you feel when you have control over someone, it is the one about life energy. So, the figure represents the energy that yogi has during their ritual. Thinking that they had a second life, they motivate themselves. She is feeling pleased and, in some way, she is praising. The third pose of the figure is likely to be the Sukhasana pose. I used this pose because yogi believe that during this pose, they spread the feeling of peace around them. I wanted to use my own imagination with the third pose, so it doesn’t have a name.This piece represents how existentialism is a part of our daily life.
Existentialism
Existentialism is a tradition of philosophical inquiry associated mainly with certain 19th and 20th-century European philosophers who, despite profound doctrinal differences, shared the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subject—not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual. While the predominant value of existentialist thought is commonly acknowledged to be freedom, its primary virtue is authenticity. In the view of the existentialist, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation, confusion, or dread in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world. Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.
Wikipedia
The Stranger or The Outsider (L’Étranger) is a novel by Albert Camus published in 1942. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of existentialism, though Camus did not consider himself an existentialist; in fact, its content explores various philosophical schools of thought, including (most prominently and specifically) absurdism, as well as determinism, nihilism, naturalism, and stoicism.
The title character is Meursault, an Algerian ("a citizen of France domiciled in North Africa, a man of the Mediterranean, an homme du midi yet one who hardly partakes of the traditional Mediterranean culture") who seemingly irrationally kills an Arab man whom he recognises in French Algiers. The story is divided into two parts: Meursault's first-person narrative view before and after the murder, respectively.
[From the Wiki entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_(novel) ]
"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."
C.S. Lewis
This conceptual photograph explores death not as an end, but as a gateway to liberation. It reflects on the fragile nature of existence, the silence beyond fear, and humanity's timeless search for meaning and freedom.

Forever 21 shoes, 4.75" heel, with 1" platform. They're not the most comfortable shoes I own, but they're definitely not bad, I like them a lot. In retrospect, I thoroughly wish I had positioned the heel in front of the outlet.

Reg the miniature schnauzer. Not my dog, sadly I'm allergic to him. But he IS the cutest and loveliest dog in the world.
I don't get to take pictures of animals very often, as I'm allergic to most things with fur. I hate my allergy. . :-(
