We're all bound by who we are—a universal truth. As adults, we gain "burdens": gender, work, parenthood. These often bring joy, yet also deep exhaustion and constraint.
Imagine a girl, uniquely costumed, standing resolute. She embodies childhood's innocent strength, oblivious to the world. The rusty backdrop whispers of time, symbolizing adult life's heavy hand and societal limits.
This girl is a vivid echo of our pure, untethered past selves. Through my daughter, I find my escape—a journey back to that free spirit slumbering in my memories.
