circles of existence is a digital odyssey that seeks to weave together my vivid dreams, love, the cyclical nature of life and the infinite dance between the sun and moon to narrate a story that transcends the linear confines of time.
Dreams have always been a cornerstone of my existence; they are the lens through which I view the past, navigate the present and envision the future. Growing up with intensely vivid dreams has allowed me to connect with planes of existence beyond the tangible, where time spirals freely. Love is the force that connects the dots between the individual and the collective. It is both the journey and the destination, a testament to the enduring strengths of bonds that goes beyond time and space.
The cyclical nature of life - embodied by the cycles of the sun and moon, day and night, seasons and life phases all mirrors the understanding of my existence. We see life as not a linear journey but a series of interconnected circles and cycles where the end is also the beginning. circles of existence reflects this belief to explore the seamless flow of time echoing the past into the future.
