What do you see in this image?
Solitude? Freedom? Pride? Sadness? Hope?
Every emotion is valid.
This lone tulip doesn’t dictate the feeling — you do.
In society, to be seen is to exist.
To be unseen is to be forgotten.
But still, this flower blooms.
Not for the praise.
Not for the spotlight.
But for the quiet hope that someone, somewhere, might notice.
This image is not about the flower.
It’s about the lens through which you view the world.
What you see says as much about the subject
as it does about yourself.
