14: LIFE & DEATH
The cycle of life.
15: LOVE
Over the course of a relationship between a woman and a man they drift apart, moving away from each other for reasons of complacency, boredom, conflicting interests, attraction to other people, lack of shared future vision and misunderstanding. Communication, compassion, love and mutual respect keeps them together and brings them back to the shared path…until they drift apart again….this is life, this is natural, but whatever the question…love is the answer.

Twirling a scarlet umbrella, she glides silently by inspiring dreams.
