In "Cogito," the four people represent the rigid and narrow mindset that can trap us into black and white thinking, turning us into statues devoid of creativity and joy. But the vibrant campfire at the center symbolizes the power of our inner fire to break free from this mental prison and ignite our lives with color and passion. This painting reminds me that we are not defined by our circumstances or past experiences, but by our ability to choose how we see and respond to the world. It encourages me to nurture the flames of my own curiosity and imagination, and to never stop seeking new perspectives and experiences.
