The circle of life, or as Bruja Opala calls it “a never ending circle”. A process most people fail to understand until the day they die. In life, one encounters a range of life-altering moments, some beautiful some painful. This photo series highlights the idea that even though the moments of pain and distress often cause a part of us to die they truly are the times we are re-born into a much stronger version of ourselves. We die and we are reborn several times. Once we accept these setbacks and see them for what they are, character development, we can gain some control over life’s messy ways.
