The Scene: A quiet park on a sunny afternoon.

An elderly man, Mr. Whitaker, is taking his usual afternoon walk. Each step is deliberate. His cane taps a rhythm slower than time itself.

Behind him, a young jogger named Jane is approaching. She’s all energy and endorphins, earbuds in, ponytail bouncing, barely touching the ground as she runs.

Science and technology were advancing, and with them, new ideas about reality and perception emerged. Artists started asking themselves: "What if art doesn’t have to show the world as it looks? What if it could express the world as it feels?" A painter named Wassily Kandinsky was one of the first to take this bold step. He believed that colors and shapes could spe...

Representation of the tree of life

You are the trunk of the tree and every branch represents a different direction of your life. You can see that every branch, there's no kind of growth, no leaves of any kind, it's just a bunch of dead sticks clinging to the trunk of the tree. However, you can see all kinds of green foliage in the background, it seems to be thriving, growing at a incredible rate. What do you think the interpretation of this picture truly means?
