Surrending to the shadow

Junichiro Tanizaki wrote “There is perhaps, in us Orientals, an inclination to accept the limits and circumstances of life. We resign ourselves to the shade, as it is, and without revulsion. Is the light dim? Let the darkness engulf us, and discover them a beauty." This is the caption from where my project begin. The beauty found in everything the life bring to us, at the same time a sensation of surrendering and hope.
