“The Horse Problem” 🐎

In a quiet hall in Venice, time stands still.
A massive horse, caught mid-leap, looms above a girl no taller than its heart.
Yet she doesn’t flinch — her hand reaches forward, fearless, tender.

The horse, all motion and muscle, represents raw instinct.
The girl, still and calm, embodies trust.
Together, they tell a story of coexistence — of what happens when the wild meets the human spirit without fear.

✨ Sometimes, the bravest act isn’t to control the wild… it’s to face it with kindness.
