... an interesting twist of the plot / photo ;-)
The story is not of the hero himself, but a philosophical focus from the depths of centuries...

Who is a real beautiful bird in perfect flight here? What we used to call a shadow floats beautifully, but a living being... it looks like it is running away from this shadow in fear.
Or maybe it's just a mask? Which one of them?

There falls my mask ...And I remain as I remain as a shadow

There are also additional masks/realities... I'm scared to think what you can find in this illustration... ;-)))
