Amor Fati

In today’s world, happiness seems to be the ultimate goal. We pursue it, and feel compelled to keep advertising happiness and success in the public media. But is this pursuit not a mistake? Doesn’t it, ironically, lead to an unhappy life?

The photographs reveal a dark world, yet light is always present—sometimes fragile, sometimes barely visible. They question what it means to be a fortunate human being: is it the one who surrounds themselves only with light, or the one who dares to look into the darkness and discovers light within it? Amor Fati embraces life in its entirety, accepting both shadow and brightness as inseparable forces.

“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it, but love it.”

-Friedrich Nietzsche-
