It becomes a message for anyone facing tough choices in life, reminding us that the end of one phase might just lead to a new beginning.

It speaks to the struggles and changes we all face and explores our search for meaning amidst the chaos of life. Even if you're unfamiliar with its roots or past versions, Brixmark's interpretation invites deep reflection and a sense of calm.
