Introduction

Combining simplicity with rich and intricate complexity, through the fusion and confrontation of the simple and the complex, we seek a dependent balance, creating infinity. Cells evolve, divide, replicate, depend, metamorphose, merge, and symbiotically coexist, becoming who we are today, whether good, bad, obscure, brilliant, timid, or resilient - all of us are the best versions of ourselves.

Growing up in the societal template, we spend our lives exploring the correct way of living as social animals: inherited from parents, shaped by the schoolyard, framed by peers, defined by partners, concluded by society, self-imposed. The process of exploration is always a relentless carving, one blade called dreams, another called naivety, each striping away veneer to reveal seasoned understanding. Yet, within each person, there seems to linger an indelible image—a vision of oneself, idealized, faintly visible. And always, at some midnight hour, we remember ourselves as true flowers, even as this society pushes us to become shattered brocade, and though we strive to comply, we never forget.

"Life" is a gift given only once, so experience everything, carrying both innate and acquired, traversing through mud, running in heavy snow, sleeping under the sun, singing after pain, climbing a mountain, chasing a rain, lighting a lamp, dreaming a dream.

Until, until...

Until we truly possess clear love, direct disgust, sincere likes, and stand boldly in the sun, able to praise ourselves loudly and without shame, our hearts are made of steel, hot enough to scorch under the sun, so forever fervent, forever beautiful.
