Narcissus

Narcissus contemplating himself in a bottomless mirror. Its reflection, largely hidden, pokes its nose in the eyes of Narcissus who seems to appreciate it. This excessive love he has for himself is far from trivial. He also hides a whole part of himself, which does not show itself, which remains hidden from the eyes of others. This reflection of personality can sometimes spoil the relationships we have with others but can sometimes, sparingly, be beneficial too. This ambiguity only holds in the amount of space we give it in our own interior and in our relationship with others.
Melancholy

Melancholy is considered a vague feeling, longing, and even a vague sadness without any real cause. It can be misunderstood because misinterpreted. It is constitutive of a being, it cannot be invented or improvised. It is often a natural state, a character, a way of being. Like a ground wave, it is often a source of inspiration, a reminder of a wound present in spite of oneself, perhaps a memory of another life, in the hollow of the soul. It calls for introspection, for an inner journey into the realm of emotions. This man, with a limpid gaze, is immersed in an introspection where things, which may seem dark to some, appear to him as limpid and natural. Melancholy can be reassuring for those who experience it.
Contemplation

Knowing how to admire what surrounds us has its fair value. Marvel at what our senses tell us, be centered on the present moment by letting life pass through us in its most beautiful way.
This woman is contemplative, she
looks ahead to the present moment, illuminated by daylight. His inner world, represented by the right part, meanwhile, observes, half hidden.
To be in contemplation is also to take care of one's internal balance as a human being, to replace oneself within this extraordinary world which surrounds us and to take advantage of this moment to find serenity.
