Illustrations #5 - The facets

These are illustrations that have much more meaning than meets the eye.
In principle we have a heart which has many meanings such as courage, strength, soul, suffering, and the one we most often associate it with and take into account which is love.

The drops of blood symbolize the suffering of the heart, and what complements it is the red color of the drops which symbolizes the POWER, and the STRENGTH to make changes in this.
 
On the other hand we have the detail of the heart rate which symbolizes a very thin line which we all pass at some point in our lives.
 
The meaning of this is something that happens to all of us daily, the doubts that arise and the thoughts, and as we spend daily studying our thoughts, here we can see the representation of this which is the brain which raises many questions, like what do I do now? Why me? And something I always said is that we should not ask "why me? These questions have to be channeled and controlled by means of a sedative which are the feelings, the affection, the support that the people around us provide us, which is what the blue color of the tubes symbolizes.
Time... is something a very complex issue, it is a very important factor in life, and that is what I wanted to represent from the beginning, how life is very short and time is what we waste the most in life, we let many things pass that we do not care about the minutes, hours, or even days we waste, and not only I mean when we do not do anything productive in our daily lives, but also how we waste that valuable time with the people we love the most, sometimes we do not enjoy so much the people around us, because we think that all our life they will be there, but the reality is that no, and something I always said, is "we must enjoy the days as if they were the last, because we do not know if tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will not be here" and all that time that we could not do or live as we wanted we waste it, thinking that there will be time in the future, but we ourselves do not know if we will get to that future.
 
So what I wanted to represent in this drawing is that, we have an hourglass, at the top we have a tree, very nice, with many leaves, and below a dry tree, empty, without a single leaf, this represents the yin and yan, that on one side a tree full of goals and objectives in life, while the other empty, without objectives or goals and it is something that we do not know how to propose in our lives, because we believe that there is still time to think about it, that valuable time that we could have used to make a difference in our lives, and it is even seen in the crystal of the clock, the top one is intact, while the bottom one is broken, that represents the time badly used. On the other hand we have the bones on the sides, which represent more or less the same thing, the top bones intact while the bottom ones are broken or worn out. And in the background we have the sun and the moon, which goes with the day and the night, representing the cycle of the day, which can be used or wasted.
Well here is a little simpler, but as for the drawing it cost me a lot, but it is obvious what I wanted to represent, the infinite symbol, that beyond that, is the cycle that we as human beings are used to, to just study, make a career and work on that and that's it, that's what we are used to, but it is better to break with that cycle and do something else, to excel, to have a goal with which you get up every day and you are motivated to death to achieve it, and here I represent the infinite with a dragon because the dragon represents the struggle, strength, and is sometimes seen as a guardian to maintain the order that comes at the beginning of the discovery of a sacred place.
 
And that sacred place is the goal we want to reach by breaking the cycle, that endless cycle, we can break it and do something different but for that we need those forces and that struggle to achieve it, and obviously to reach that goal we need to fail, "failure is part of success" but that is why we need those forces from us to at least try, to get out of that loop and give everything for our goals and objectives.
