“Whatever your size, do not be misled by the reactions of your own body. With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view. You must cultivate your wisdom and spirit.“
- Masashi Miyamoto, The Book of Five Rings
The photos capture a moment at my family home, marking the one-year anniversary of my grandma’s passing. Amidst a whirlwind of memories, both joyful and sorrowful, a profound sense of gratitude for her and an acknowledgment of something greater than ourselves emerged. In search of an outlet for these emotions, I was drawn to a sword I had purchased on a previous visit. As its blade sliced through the air, a sense of renewal washed over me, offering a fresh perspective amidst my reflections.
