Letting go.
We all face it, letting go of something or someone, but it is perhaps one of the hardest things to do.

A chaos of patterns, shapes and colours. Strange combinations in bright colours together. This chaos was created by merging a number of self-made photographs.
The chaos in the mind blows away among the hair blowing in the wind. The chaos fades away and is carried away by the wind and clouds. The picture of the clouds is also self-made.
An artistic work of art full of symbolism. Get carried away by the art of letting go!
