Interpretation
Ruins are the past that remains present — structures whose function has ended but whose form endures. Dream-ruins are visits to former versions of the self or the life: the marriage, career, or identity whose walls still stand roofless.
Positive Resonance
Honoring what was, archaeology of the self, beauty in what remains
Shadow Aspect
Living in the ruins of the past, refusing to build anew, romanticizing what fell
Nuances
Exploring ruins: examining a former life
Ruins reclaimed by nature: the past being composted
