Standing Before the Lighthouse

On a rainy evening, a boy with a backpack stands alone on the rocks before a lighthouse, gazing quietly at the calm sea. Dressed in a white hoodie, one hand tucked in his pocket, head slightly bowed, he stands in still contemplation, his thoughts drifting somewhere far away. On the water's surface, the lighthouse beam and the warm yellow glow of village windows across the way shimmer in reflection, weaving a dreamlike landscape where reality and mirror image blur together. A light rain falls through gray clouds, and moss-covered rocks are scattered along the quiet shore, adding a lonely yet beautiful atmosphere. The distant lights of a coastal village bleed softly through the mist, stirring a gentle nostalgia, while the lighthouse's warm glow stands steadfast behind the boy, silently illuminating his back. Whether he is at the start of a journey or pausing on the way home, this evocative work leaves you wondering about the story behind it.
