Collection: Late to realise your place

This Collection is based upon an imagined individual who pursued the ambitions of their youth by following a conventional path in the manner to which most of us are constrained. The emergent reality, as we grow older, usually falls somewhat short of those lofty early ambitions, or at the least, turns out to be quite different from them.

Some people become genuinely disillusioned, whilst others find a path that, as it turns out, suits them better than the one they initially pursued.

In youth, we understand little of the world and it's nuanced complexities. It can take some adjustment to alter one's ambitions to suit one's greater comprehension. The result is a position within our complex societies relative to those around us. Hopefully we're happy with that position, and the sooner we can arrive at a suitably adjusted set of ambitions, the less time we'll spend fruitlessly burning ourselves out in pursuit of something that's unreasonable or unrealistic. Ultimately, the best we can hope for is a sense of contentment, whatever that may mean for us personally.

As usual, the Collection contains versions in different colours and ues to hellp you to choose a picture that best suits your existing decor. I hope they resonate with you.
