Coloring Life

In Buddhist teachings, there's a saying, "Life is a sea of suffering," describing the hardships humans endure throughout their lives. Today, in the insecure world of pandemics, wars, and natural disasters, concepts like a beautiful life seem almost unfamiliar, with rates of depression and disillusionment among the youth steadily rising. Just like these photos, devoid of color, would be dull and dreary, reflecting the outlook of many towards life. But I choose colored pictures, even coloring them myself, to create visual impressions and evoke emotions about colors for viewers. So, whether life is dull, gloomy, or beautiful, vibrant, it all depends on how we perceive it.
