Wanderlust
A teddy bear sits on a table in a vast, grassy field, symbolising both innocence and stability. The open sky reveals a window with warm light and distant shadows, evoking the allure of distant places and uncharted connections.

Altschmerz
Familiar routines provide a sense of security but also trap us in cycles of stress and self-disappointment. The teddy bear, a symbol of comfort, contains a box—a metaphor for how we carry the weight of unchangeable patterns that offer safety but limit progress.
