Lost in Fantasy

Getting lost in fantasies, or when a restless soul cannot find satisfaction in the real world that surrounds it. Opportunity after opportunity is offered, but none of them will bring interest even for a moment.

The World of Dreams vs Reality

The world of dreams in which one wanders can never compare to earthly existence. If you have allowed boredom or illusions to multiply in your life, it's time to wake up to reality.

The Pursuit of Perfection

Our happiness is always unattainable for those who seek only perfection.

Visual Description

A solitary figure sits beneath a broad, gnarled tree, head bowed and hand to face in a contemplative pose. Three golden cups rest on the ground near their feet while a fourth cup is offered by a hand emerging from a cloud to the left. The landscape behind is quiet, with twisted roots and muted, autumnal colors; the ornate frame shows the number 4 at the top. The mood is pensive and inward, with the offered cup seeming both near and otherworldly.
