Soul Waves

THE GARDEN OF HIDDEN DESIRES

The story


What's that sensation pulsing in your chest?

For me, it's an inner dance—a soulful movement that sways beyond my control. It doesn't like when I forget about my desires, about my little secret dream.

It's flowing.

Breaking free.

Then look how it's floating, vibrating, it's glowing!

It recalls and forgets at the same time. It remembers the touching that was once there, but isn't here anymore. Yet it also reminds me of the warmth of those embraces. But it also forgets. It forgets about the sadness, about the tiny scars.

It's courageous—undaunted by life's challenges. It guides me toward finding my new self, navigating through a myriad of emotions and fears, like the trembling of collected fragments of myself.

This is the wavering of 80 souls.

Come step into our secret garden!

Let's kill together the idle silence!
