Reflected Farewell

This illustration was inspired by the mirrored nature of reflections—how movements in a mirror always appear reversed.

The sea, like a quiet mirror, holds the same power.

“Reflected Farewell” tells the story of two lovers who, despite deeply loving each other, are about to part ways due to forces beyond their control.

On the day of their farewell, they finally fulfill a promise they made long ago: to see the ocean together.

To see the ocean with the one you love — it should have been a beautiful, joyful moment.

But because of countless delays and unspoken complications, they only managed to fulfill this promise on the day they were about to part.

They stand in silence, facing the sea, holding back what words cannot say.

Yet the water, like a mirror, quietly reflects something reality couldn’t offer—

**In the reflection, they are embraced.**

Maybe it didn’t happen.

Or maybe, it was fate’s final act of kindness.

*As if the sea itself vowed to remember that they once loved.
