“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” – Ernest Hemingway
In The Sun Also Rises, I merged red and black to create a striking composition that combines energy and mystery. Inspired by Hemmingway’s book, I aimed to capture a rising sun’s power and relentless spirit, casting its fiery glow upon a man sitting under a tree, relaxing in the shade on a hot summer day in Spain.
