Departure Without Map

Beneath a crescent moon, two figures dressed in black stand beside a vivid red biplane, captured in the stillness before departure. One glances back toward us, bridging viewer and story, while the other faces the plane, fixed on what lies ahead. A single suitcase rests nearby, suggesting escape, farewell, or a journey yet undefined. The minimalist setting, bold contrasts, and quiet tension evoke themes of transition, memory, and courage. Blending realism with a touch of the surreal, the scene invites reflection on the threshold between earth and sky, past and future.
