In moments of reflection, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s real and what’s imagined. Perception twists the truth, leaving us questioning what’s possible. But the core remains unshaken. The way forward lies in trusting the reality behind the distortion, not in waiting for the surface to clear.
Our perception, like a reflection, may distort—but the essence, what has been and what is, remains.
"The photograph does not necessarily say what is no longer, but only and for certain what has been."
Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida.
