In a world shrouded in fog, an unexpected light appears on a dark zebra crossing: a photo manipulation of a cow. This intriguing image manipulation blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, evoking a sense of wonder, inviting deeper reflection.
The cow, a sacred symbol in Hinduism, represents fertility, prosperity and the divine. Her presence on the zebra crossing, a place of human activity and transition, suggests a deeper meaning behind her appearance.
