Abstract

Dragonflies live for years underwater. Only by emerging do they become visible. Dragonflies explores that hidden world - submerged dreams, the pull toward the surface, the raw collision with reality. Only by leaving the water does one discover that the *restitutio ad integrum* of the self is nothing other than being oneself. Dragonflies is an inner journey and an attempt to rescue one's wounded inner child - a confrontation with the past without filters. To travel and be lost, in order to find and recognise oneself, reaching a lighthouse: home, love, life. Dragonflies is an elegy of lost time that opens with optimism toward the future, where it finally dreams of flying. Living outside the water means learning to give meaning to the wait for flight, to the hope of being seen when uncertainty offers no breath of fire. Dragonflies are photographs of the soul's landscapes, heavy with emotional nuance, hiding storms of silent thunder that shatter the dark in the sea of night. Dragonflies are lessons in flight, attempts to rise and rediscover. Because in the end we are all dragonflies: we try to fly in that storm we call life.
