This image teaches a lot.., reflecting various phases of life, a life thoroughly centered on emotion of love.
The tree at the backdrop merely surviving and dying but human is filled with companionship of childhood to love and affection of youth, passing through the intimacy of relationship and bonding of adults to old-age companion once again.
The 5th phase is of pain of separation of lost companion and being alone in an un-imagined life. Sitting yet standing on the crutches of love and affection of thy memories.
The withered tree depicts the end of life having witnessed the imprints of beautiful moments lost in nature.
It teaches the choices we have of living this life either being centered on love and all rest things on circumference or a life centered on status, money and fame and love on circumference?
