Digital collage 2023
As I gaze upon the scenery in front of me, I am stunned by its beauty. The clear blue sky with white clouds floating like cotton in the sky. But behind that beauty, there is hidden chaos.
I look around me, and beneath the beautiful scenery, there is a satirical impression. Garbage is scattered under the trees, and old buildings that are in ruins stand in the distance. Although the scenery is beautiful, I can't help but constantly think of the imperfections that exist beneath it.
I look towards the sea, and there I see how blue the sea water is and the beauty of the fish swimming freely. However, upon closer inspection, I realize that a lot of waste is thrown into the sea and polluting its beauty.
In the midst of this beautiful scenery, I contemplate, my eyes wide open. Sometimes, beauty is not entirely clean and pure. But this is the reality of life. We must constantly strive to improve and fix things so that the beauty can always be preserved.
