a pocket of space for all things Belle Mariano & random life thoughts

Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood, they will not protect you the way that they should. And take extra care with strangers, even flowers have their dangers, and though scary is exciting, nice is different than good.

But do not be scared of the dark, my dear. For the real frightening monsters dwell in light, rewriting the story.

The Empress.

She rose from the ashes of destruction; baptized by the fire of constant rejections and guided by the winds of persistence.

Her head is not there to to mold her worth on a glistening crown, and her willpower won't be caged by a throne.

She is a self-made woman ready to lead an empire.

She is strength rising above inferno.

Creative note:

Overall image is chaotic, imbalanced, in disharmony to represent internal struggle.

That behind every success was a very chaotic process of trying, failing, and trying again until you reach the point where you wanna be.

That it is never easy to grow into this society with your dreams still fully in tact; so when it does, it deserves to be celebrated.

Red for flame of life; it either tempers you or emboldens you. Black for the uncertainties of the future. Phoenix for celebration of new beginnings. The entire composition aims to unravel the picture of life as a constant struggle to grow.

Note: These are screencaps taken from the Belle and Beyond shoot video. I edited them to look like finalized still shots because I loved how she looked like here.
