I close my eyes, I breathe, and I see it a deeply unconscious metaphor that has been running my entire life. I see it so clearly in my mind. A pitch black room, so dark it feels endless. The kind of darkness that does not just surround you, but presses in on you. There is a bed sitting…

The other day I was scrolling through Instagram when I came across a series of images that stopped me in my tracks. They were created by Turkish artist Uğur Gallenkuş, whose work brings two completely different realities together within a single frame.

Sometimes we look back at life and realize that the most profound lessons were hiding inside the moments we once feared the most. We often don’t see the wisdom until the storm has passed. And sometimes, even years later, we revisit those memories and uncover new layers of meaning that we couldn’t access before. This is one of…
