- VITALITY -

How do you visually describe a living thing surviving the harsh enviroment around itself?
What is it that gives humans their life, and their motivations?
What causes us to defy the odds of survial, and live?

This is what it looks like.

Vi-tal-i-ty - n. - The capacity to live, grow, or develop: plants that lost their vitality when badly pruned.

This was a thought that ran though my mind when thinking of living, and surviving. This was as close as I could get to what I saw in my mind. A plant trying to survive in a harsh enviroment, an ugly wasteland all around the plant, rotting, dying, trying to bring the beautiful plant down. But out of the ugliness, the plant survives and has the capacity to live.

Feel the need to live. Go out and run in the rain, climb a mountain, seek an adrenaline rush, dance, laugh, cry, FEEL ALIVE, we are all survivors.

You have the energy, the power, the FORCE to survive.

Enjoy.
