The Journey
About "The Journey (of Discovery)"
Society likes to put us in little boxes. And most people like being in them. The box represents: society/other peoples’ expectations for us, our own expectations, our comfort zone, narrow-mindedness, brainwashing, ‘own little world’ etc. But only once we decide to leave our “comfort zone”, we realize the beauty of life outside of the box. And when we look back at ourselves from a new perspective (in this image “from the stars”) we realize that we are made of stars. (In other words; we carry the same beauty and responsibility to shine and be free; “to infinity and beyond”)
