DIRECTING INTENTION

One's life is also a process of getting to know and learning oneself. The father sees his daughter choose the future and live in reality, which he had only imagined in his head. The life we are living now is accompanied by a desire for another life. The two lives are different paths, but they overlap in the form of aspirations.
