There’s nothing to conquer out there, only within.
This is so sick, honored to be a part of @datartist%E2%80%99s ‘Faces of Lens’ initiative 🙌🌿

I was thinking that when we are practicing a sport we are also embodying the hero archetype, there is a part of our psyche and the collective unconscious that always invites us to reach our maximum potential, to conquer something as a way to also conquer ourselves, it is a myth that we see from Greek mythology to cinema, and it always inspires us in some way to see someone who has reached a high potential in any branch of knowledge or practice, it is because it speaks to that archetype deep within each being,
I never liked baseball, but I was thinking that symbolically it is very interesting, it is like the story of david and goliath, a single man with a stick and a stone (a bat and a baseball in this case) trying to defeat a giant, in this case represented by the 9 players of the other team, then there is the coming home, home, the return of the hero is always the final part of the myth, where he returns triumphant and with a renewed perspective of the world and having been transformed by the journey,
What a coincidence that when the batter scores a point it is when he arrives home, that is, he defeated the giant in that battle and transformed himself, he defeated his old self, so the benefits of playing a sport go beyond the typical empty comment like: You produce endorphins, your circulation runs better, you look better.
The reality is that activating the archetype of the hero through a practice transforms us, changes our attitude towards life, makes us embody the myth that we admire so much…

Within the seamless dance of light + shadow, EMPIRES APART emerges as a visual symphony of juxtaposition. In this ethereal composition combining the images of @evanmann + @grams, the towering silhouette of the Empire State Building in NYC converges with the sleek contours of the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building in Tokyo, Japan bridging the chasm between East + West.
EMPIRES APART invites viewers to ponder the harmonious discordance of globalization, where disparate worlds converge + diverge in a mesmerizing dance of contrasts. It's a visual poem that celebrates the beauty of diversity, the fluidity of identity, and the boundless possibilities when East meets West.
Evan and Grams wished to collaborate on something that would be possible with them on either sides of the planet without too much going on, keeping it simple and clean. Their first split collab on @lens.
